Yes, it did help, Thomas -- opkg started upgrading w/o problems after setting up the swap through a loopback device. Eventually I started getting "fork failed", then opkg complained about "too many open files" and segfaulted. So I restarted the upgrade in portions, interrupting opkg by Ctrl-C periodically. Eventually, I got to the point when opkg had nothing to upgrade. Thanks for the suggestion, Mikhail. _______________________________________________ Shr-User mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shr-project.org/mailman/listinfo/shr-user
