Entware installation fails

[WillyTP]

Hello everybody

I'm trying to install Entware on my RT-AC68U.

However, during the installation process, I get the error below, resulting in Entware not successfully installed.
Is there any workaround?

Thanks

Btw: my zone info would be Europe, however even by installing zoneinfo-europe the installation doesn't finish properly.

Are you using the built in script to do the install? It doesn't look like it from what you pasted. You have an ext2 or ext3 partition installed?

Hi,
I confirm I am using the built in script.
USB is formatted as ext4 without journal.

To me looks like the package in Entware repository is broken, since everything else seems to work fine.

I just did the install right when you posted this using the default merlin install script and ext2 using all default settings. The only thing to pick was pressing one for the usb mount point. I then tested it by doing opkg update and opkg upgrade to make sure everything was up to date....

Hello everybody.
I did some testing, and the problem was rather weird.

I connect to the Internet via a Mobile LTE connection, Vodafone Italy operator / ISP.

As suggested HERE, where originally I filed a bug, my ISP probably operates a transparent proxy.

Problem solved by using a VPN.

Hope this may help others
