Entware [SOLVED] Entware packages not updating - wget doesn't have https support

[Phantomski]

Hi,

headscratching here a bit.

I suddenly can't update/upgrade Entware packages in amtm. I don't remember installing anything that would affect it on the FW 386.7-2 and it certainly didn't improve on 386.9. It just stopped working.

Using amtm, the Update/Upgrade of Entware packages produces an error:

Downloading https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k2.6/Packages.gz
*** Failed to download the package list from https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k2.6/Packages.gz
Collected errors:
* opkg_download: Failed to download https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k2.6/Packages.gz, wget returned 1.

Running opkg update produces the same error.

https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k2.6/Packages.html is accessible.

If I try using wget directly as wget https://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k2.6/Packages.gz it comes back with an error HTTPS support not compiled in.

When I tried to install wget-ssl from HTTP version of Entware repository using opkg install http://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k2.6/wget-ssl_1.21.3-1_armv7-2.6.ipk it comes back with Package wget-ssl (1.21.3-1) installed in root is up to date.

Removing and reinstalling wget doesn't help either. What am I missing?

You've probably installed a conflicting version of wget from Entware. Remove it and try again.

Or use /usr/sbin/wget

Nope, not manually.

Symbolic link /jffs/configs/wget points to ../../opt/libexec/wget-nossl. Don't know why. If I change it to /usr/sbin/wget it works OK. Not sure why and what would change it.

System wget aka /entware/bin/wget (note the -ssl):

When I removed the "other" wget by opkg remove wget-nossl it removed the symlink too and all works well. I'm quite certain I haven't installed the nossl version myself. Strange.
EDIT: Of course I did - when I was using 384.xx, the NonSSL version was the only way to update Entware. Doh. Not sure why it worked for a little bit on 386.7-2, but hey, all good.

Ran into the same problem. Thanks for sharing the solution!!!

 

[diman82]

Worked for me simply removing wget (by running

opkg remove wget

).

I've got exactly the same problem when i's doing 'opkg update' and I can confirm the solution works, and the troubleshooting process is crystal clear. Unfortunately, I'm still facing amtm server-diversion.ch is unreachable problem as well.

For me, this issue occurred when installing busybox on my ASUS ROG AX-11000 with asuswrt-merlin and Entware. The installation gave a warning that many of the items already existed so that was my clue. After running opkg remove busybox --force-removal-of-dependent-packages --force-removal-of-essential-packages everything seemed to work and ls $(which wget) gave /usr/sbin/wget while wget --version | head -n1 rendered GNU Wget 1.24.5 built on linux-gnueabi which shows that the busybox version was removed from the PATH. Interestingly, some tools still use a built-in version of busybox which was not damaged despite the warning that --force-removal-of-essential-packages provides. The new busybox from opkg provided BusyBox v1.36.1 (2024-07-23 11:34:57 UTC) multi-call binary while the built-in one provided BusyBox v1.25.1 (2024-07-31 19:51:29 EDT) multi-call binary. Anyways, I hope this helps someone.
