I posted a problem on the Angstrom-users list but have had no replies. Perhaps the list is inactive: http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/angstrom-distro-users/2012-October/004118.html
Basically running "opkg update && opkg upgrade" on the beagleBONE doesn't work. It appears to break various //var/lib/opkg/info/*.list files. As a result to keep internet facing services up to date I had to do a work-around with "opkg --force-reinstall install openssh". With this you have to get the exact package match; "opkg --force-reinstall install ssh" doesn't work. The force reinstall will download the latest package according to any changes resulting from "opkg update". I hope this helps someone. If you are running dropbear you'll get a conflict. I don't know how to do this change from dropbear to openssh without losing remote connectivity. Running a screen session might work but if the changeover fails you might end up reimaging the sdcard image to the sdcard. Might be better to stick with dropbear until you come across functionality in openssh you need. _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-users mailing list Angstrom-distro-users@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-users
