...but the EPG function of webif has never appeared to work properly.
The next version should fix that, thanks to Drutt, but in the meantime you can make the change he suggests above and hopefully it will start working for you.
- Keyword Searches display, but when used do not display any results - also the Keywords displayed have lots of trailing characters and make the web page wide!
That's interesting - could you provide a screenshot or more details about the trailing characters? The keywords are pulled from the ones that you've used with the Find screen via the remote. There might be an issue if you've never used that or not used all of the keywords, or maybe something specific to the HD.
* resolve_conffiles: Existing conffile /mod/etc/webif.db is different from the
conffile in the new package. The new conffile will be placed at /mod/etc/webif.db-opkg.
That's expected. The webif.db file is where your settings are stored. The file that comes with the package is just a blank database. opkg is doing the right thing and not overwriting your locally modified file with the packaged version.
