Cannot download WebIf

I had a crash overnight and now I am getting the dreaded "reinstall webif" screen.
It seems there is a problem with the server, e.g.:
Please select option: fixweb
killall: lighttpd: no process killed
/mod/sbin/lighttpd: can't load library 'libpcre.so.1'
No packages removed.
Installing webif (1.4.9-6c) to root...
Collected errors:
* opkg_download_pkg: Package webif is not available from any configured src.
* opkg_install_pkg: Failed to download webif. Perhaps you need to run 'opkg update'?
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package webif.

I have tried using CLI and some of the suggestions in https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/cant-access-web-if.7226/#post-98583 but keep getting connection errors. For example:
H1# opkg update
Downloading http://hpkg.tv/hdrfoxt2/base/Packages.gz.
wget: can't load library 'libpcre.so.1'
Downloading http://hpkg.tv/hdrfoxt2/beta/Packages.gz.
wget: can't load library 'libpcre.so.1'
Collected errors:
* opkg_download: Failed to download http://hpkg.tv/hdrfoxt2/base/Packages.gz, wget returned 16.
* opkg_download: Failed to download http://hpkg.tv/hdrfoxt2/beta/Packages.gz, wget returned 16.

Not sure what wget returned 16 is but if there is a problem with the hpkg.tv website how can I reinstall WebIf ?
 
You're running Beta packages and then a local install of something updated by me (due to the lack of being able to put out proper package updates). This is what happens when it goes wrong. You need to repeat the local install as in https://hummy.tv/forum/posts/157345 at least. The libpcre problem is probably elsewhere on the forum.
 
You might need this to fix the libpcre problem first:
( PATH=/bin; opkg install libpcre )
 
You seem to have set your PATH to just /bin so I guess you didn't type the command above exactly as shown (you probably omitted the parentheses).
You can either exit the shell then re-connect (which fixes the PATH) and repeat or use /mod/bin/wget instead of just wget.
