No, the problem is that the date of installation of packages are in Feb 2007, based on the latest list http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/, a lot of packages have been updated.

ipkg-opt is up to date, but why it is not available? :confused:

Upgrading ipkg-opt on /opt/ from 0.99.163-9 to (null)... <-- looks like it doesnt exist in the reposity
