New Custom Portal won't install

I'm trying to install the New Custom Portal but I get a message saying "Cannot install package new-portal."

>>> opkg install new-portal
Installing new-portal (1.01) to root...
Collected errors:
* check_conflicts_for: The following packages conflict with new-portal:
* check_conflicts_for: portal-xtra1 * check_conflicts_for: custom-portal *
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package new-portal.

I am current running with
Humax Version 1.03.12
Custom Firmware 3.00 build 2137
WebIf Version 1.0.17-1

Both portal_xtra1 and custom-portal are not installed
 
Thanks for the link but running the remove_portal diagnostic didn't work

Also tried the 'Force re-install' of the new-portal, but I get the same message
 
Can you run this at a telnet prompt and see what it produces?
Code: 
humax# opkg list-installed|grep portal|cut -d ' ' -f 1

What does "didn't work" mean? It's "remove_portals" not "remove_portal" as well. Maybe that's why it "didn't work", but unless you say what it did do, it's a bit difficult to proceed.

Sorry, typo in the post with the missing 's'
'didn't work' meant that I ran remove_portals and then tried to install new-portal again, but it 'didn't work', as in it didn't install the new-portal
When the remove_portals is run I get this
>>> Beginning diagnostic remove_portals

I've run the telnet and I get this

That's good - the packaging system doesn't think any portal is installed, so try "opkg update" then "opkg install new-portal"
 
This is what I get

I can't reproduce the problem, so perhaps it's corruption of opkg related files.
You might try these:
Code: 
humax# ls /mod/var/opkg/ -lR|grep portal
humax# grep -r "portal" /mod/var/opkg/
 
This is what I got
The first didn't appear to do anything
On the second one, I did the "reboot after install"
Code:

I would be tempted to edit the /mod/var/opkg/status file manually and chop out both the sections referring to portal-xtra1 and custom-portal.
It might be interesting to see what they say before you delete them...

Nice one @prpr, that appears to have worked

It did give me a bit of a scare when I tried to install the new-portal - see the last line of code

But when I went in to the Updates tab of Package Management, there was an update for 'pkg_parse_from_stream_nomalloc'

So all working as intended

Thanks so much for your patience and help :doublethumbsup:

I suspect you might need to scroll to the end of file and press the Enter/Return key to put a blank line in.
 
Thanks prpr, your solution also worked for me. Much appreciated.

I still wonder what it's getting upset about and why though. If anyone has the time and the inclination, it might be interesting to find out which combinations of the above 3 items causes it to barf. That's 8 edits and 8 tests though...
 
Well, my status file didn't have an entry for portal-xtra1, and the webif entry looked different to above, so I left it in.
All I removed was.................
