Being a kernel install error I did not investigate further due to, well, being the kernel. Just letting all know that this is happening and likely needs looking into by those more knowledgeable than me. Please post response if you would like any further info extracted and posted up - please take it easy on me with requests though and be very specific re how I would get the info to send as I am just an enthusiast not a coder or sysadmin. Cheers!

While I was able to reproduce the error (buildlog) I couldn't make sense out of it, I tried again with todays snapshot and the build went fine.

Thanks Paul. I do this building process on a weekly basis so I'll do again today or tomorrow and confirm if I'm still getting the error or it has disappeared for me too. I'll report back shortly and hopefully we can close the issue ticket.

Excellent thank you for testing & reporting!

in case @dangowrt picks this up again sometime... keep an eye out for

writev(4, [{iov_base="*** Error in `", iov_len=14}, {iov_base="/br/staging_dir/host/bin/opkg", iov_len=29}, {iov_base="': ", iov_len=3}, {iov_base="free(): invalid pointer", iov_len=23}, {iov_base=": 0x", iov_len=4}, {iov_base="00007fafa8e13278", iov_len=16}, {iov_base=" ***\n", iov_len=5}], 7*** Error in `/br/staging_dir/host/bin/opkg': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fafa8e13278 ***

from failed wget || missing package... so long as it finds what it's looking for it's likely dormant...

thanks for your work on this...

I'm no longer getting the error so it indeed appears to have been resolved so the problem has disappeared for me too. Closing the issue ticket, thanks for all your help :smile: .
