package management list incomplete

prpr said:
Well it will, until either the next version of WebIf is released or the .../opkg/status file gets fixed. The former will only mask the continuing problem with the latter though.

You already posted the extract of that which showed the problem. I'm more interested in what is in the other file I mentioned.

OK I'll try to find some time tomorrow. all of this is a mystery to me though, but I'll try my best.

From a putty/webshell command line try (and report results)

are these separate items to input in putty?
i'm currently doing fixdisk, so will have a go at that later, if indeed it is what i need to enter?
cheers

They are a list of command inputs to enter at the command prompt in a console session and report the results, yes... as stated!

You can open a console session using PuTTY to access the Telnet menu and then selecting option "cli" (Command Line Interface), or (if you have the webshell package installed) by opening a console session in your web browser with WebIF >> Diagnostics >> Command Line.

Basic skills, and made so much easier for anyone to use by the webshell package – no need to install or enable a Telnet package in Windows.

However, if the disk is flaky you need to sort that first. Bear in mind also that while the 'Fox is in Maintenance Mode, trying to access the WebIF provide access to a console session even without webshell installed.

Maybe, but please edit your post to put all that inside [code]...[/code] tags. Newbies' Guide to the Forum (click)

I don't know what all those extra "Humax#" strings are littered around the place, but perhaps that's normal?

Why is that such a surprise? How many times do people have to be told how easy it is, so long as you can follow simple instructions to the letter?

This is a problem we get all the time: it's far easier to do than explain, and if people would just have the confidence to try it they will come out with a feeling of satisfaction and achievement. So much becomes obvious when you're doing it that would be subject to over-thinking when thinking about it rather than doing it.

No. He pasted the copied output back as input (with fairly predictable results)...

Interesting. That installation timestamp corresponds to Sunday, 5 February 2012 07:19:30.
Note the lack of Description line, which is what's screwing up the (current) WebIf.

Now, knowing what/when we are looking for helps, and this reference turns up from 28 July 2012:
https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/help-cant-get-webif-up-or-login-via-ssh.1925/post-24927
so I guess your earlier version was as a result of a private conversation with af123 to solve whatever problem you were having.

I downloaded and installed reset and I get this:
Code: 
humax# opkg info reset
Package: reset
Version: 1.0.1
Provides:
Status: install user installed
Architecture: mipsel
Installed-Time: 1712574734
which is essentially the same.
Looking at the control file for the package gives this:
Code: 
Package: reset
Priority: optional
Section: misc
Version: 1.0.1
Architecture: mipsel
Maintainer: af123@hummypkg.org.uk
Depends:
Description: A package which resets the custom firmware environment.
which clearly contains Description and other lines which should be reported but aren't for some reason. That goes on the ever-increasing "To Investigate" list.

Anyway, what you should do is this, from the "humax#" command prompt again:
Code: 
opkg remove reset
and then you are back in business with any mess cleaned up.

So the package management list has probably been broken for the last 12 years and you haven't noticed until you started to have problems with undelete

The problem is caused by out-of-repository packages (as reset is) - the Description comes from the repository file, not the package file (because opkg is weird!).
The last change in the code relating to this happened 8 years ago:
https://git.hpkg.tv/hummypkg/webif/...diff-c0ed6a8539700fecdfa4e2a0f2c23ab632a04f09
It seems unlikely that this would have gone unnoticed for that long, but I guess not many people have out-of-repository packages. I used to, but I run my own repositories now so wouldn't see it anyway.

I have written a number of packages over the years and have never seen the problem.
