Hello all,

for my project I do need the package socat.
checking git sources of Carambola2 I find it being included.

when trying to install it on Carambola2 using opkg I get the following:

root@carambola2:~# opkg update
Downloading http://pkg.8devices.com/carambola2/v2.7 ... ackages.gz.
Updated list of available packages in /var/opkg-lists/chaos_calmer_base.

root@carambola2:~# opkg install socat
Unknown package 'socat'.
Collected errors:
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package socat.
root@carambola2:~#
root@carambola2:~# opkg list socat
root@carambola2:~#
root@carambola2:~#

Tried to create my own .bin file including socat (option is given in MenuConfig section Network)
-> Failed with build stopping with errors.
When deselecting socat, build successfully finishes.

In OpenWrt, socat can be installed via opkg. Package is listed correctly there. (see attached file)

any ideas where my problems with socat come from?

thanks a lot
Martin

Hello,
Thanks to feedback given by mantas-p there is a workarround which I was able to verify.
Here is his info:
---------------------------------
Hello,

socat package is broken in carambola2 branch, so it was not built for the repository. It seems upstream OpenWRT already fixed it. Until carambola2 branch is updated, I recommend to manually install from upstream:

cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calm ... ar71xx.ipk
opkg install socat_1.7.3.0-1_ar71xx.ipk

----------------------------------
