Problems following systems-flush

Is there a problem with downloading the lstest 1.4.4-4 webif?

After several efforts to find a usable USB stick I installed the system-flush and it appeared to install correctly and, as expected, it required me to go through the Humax system installation wizard.

While I was initially able to access the webif problems started when I attempted to run the fix-flash-packages diagnostic.
I was then given the 'Custom Firmware Successfully Installed! ' menu but when I tried the Download & Install button it failed unable to find the Webif package

After a system flush, you will need to force reinstall opkg-beta as it lives in flash. If you re-install it now then hopefully you'll be hooked back into the beta repository.

I've moved the webif packages over from beta to the standard repository.. does that help?
 
Does nugget need to be updated? I have just tried to update the WebIF and it fails stating nugget needs to be at version >= 0.99. I and currently on v 0.98-3. No update for nugget appears to be available.
 
Better but is also looking for nugget

nugget 0.99 is definitely still in beta, so is your beta source configured?
Run /mod/boot/xinit.d/opkg-beta and try again..
 
OK, I realise this thread isn’t for me, but I have now enabled beta packages and have updated nugget to v 0.99.

A bit confusing to have one package not in beta, but has a dependency that is.
 
I'm stuck in a Chicken & Egg situation where I can't install opkg-beta because I don;t have nugget and cant install nugget 0.99 because I don't have opkg-beta though it still knows about the beta packages so I can't install a non-beta version!

Tried again and it said all was up to date despite the error messages :o_O:

Will have to await a break in viewing to reboot now but hopefully OK now

Wondering what went wrong.
Does fix-flash-packages restore the beta hooks?

Yes, it was a mistake earlier when I moved the beta webif package over to base..

Thanks @af123 for your help yesterday,
I think that I am now back to normal (or as normal as I get)! I hope the flush improves the system stability and was worth the hassle.

After I got the webif back I discovered that a number of other packages needed to be reinstalled including abduco, fan, boot-settings , tunefix, ir, redring, undelete, newk and multimode.
I also needed to recreate he settings for some packages fan and boot-setings.

I realise the settings need to be stored in flash because the disk is not available early in boot but it would be useful if a duplicate copies of settings were kept on disk so that they could be restored, if necessary, by fix-flash-packages

I am also confused as to how afer I uninstalled opkg-beta, opkg still knew about webif 1.4.4.-4 and nugget .99, even when I attempted to installed the non beta version using the URL

Finally the opkg download command appears to be broken:
Code: 
humax /mnt/hd2/mod # opkg download http://hummypkg.org.uk/hdrfoxt2/base/at_3.1.18_mipsel.opk

To download package at, you're meant to say opkg download at; if you want to download an explicit package URL, try
Code: 
wget -U "" http://hummypkg.org.uk/hdrfoxt2/base/at_3.1.18_mipsel.opk
In that command an explicit "User Agent:" header value has to be specified because apparently the server blacklists "wget/..." (response "ERROR 403: Forbidden").

I wanted to be able to download explicit downlevel versions of webif and nugget to try and get around my problems so it seemed logical to me that Download should accept the same URL as install but common sense and computers don't get along.
I had tried wget and go the 403 error but didn't know enough to try -U, hopefully there won't be a next time to use that new knowledge!
 
The help for opkg is misleading. I think it should say something like
