Error when run opkg

[serg...@gmail.com]

Hi.

When I run opkg I receive next error

# opkg

opkg: symbol lookup error: /opt/lib/libc.so.6: undefined symbol: reßsyotax_options, version GLIBC_2.4

It worked not so far ago but today I noticed message when wanted look at entware packages list.

Could anyone advice how to fix this?

The symbol is probably supposed to be "re_syntax_options" which is implemented by libc.so.6. I suspect a corrupted opkg binary.

Perhaps reinstall the opkg package. Download the installer copy of the opkg binary from the Entware installer directory, eg:

http://pkg.entware.net/binaries/armv5/installer/

Once downloaded, and stored in an alternative location, run "/path/to/opkg install opkg". You might need to run "/path/to/opkg remove opkg" first.

Thanks a lot! 

I downloaded installer 
wget http://pkg.entware.net/binaries/armv5/installer/entware_install.sh

make it executable 

chmod +x entware_install.sh

and run it

./entware_install.sh

but it didn't help and in logs I saw this error again in logs

ln: ld-linux.so.3: File exists

ln: libc.so.6: File exists

Info: Basic packages installation...

/opt/bin/opkg: symbol lookup error: /opt/lib/libc.so.6: undefined symbol: reßsyotax_options, version GLIBC_2.4

/opt/bin/opkg: symbol lookup error: /opt/lib/libc.so.6: undefined symbol: reßsyotax_options, version GLIBC_2.4

then I removed this file 

rm /opt/lib/libc.so.6

and run installation again

./entware_install.sh

And after that I didn't see any errors in logs and opkg works again

WOOHOO!!!

Sergey, I'm glad it worked for you.

Actually, what you did is not what I meant for you to do. Instead of downloading and running entware_install.sh, I suggested you download and run opkg. I should have been clearer, sorry.

I'm a bit puzzled as to why this has worked. All you did was remove a symbolic link /opt/lib/libc.so.6, which would have been pointing to libc-2.23.so, and now will still be pointing to libc-2.23.so. The first time running the installer, it complained that the symlink already existed ("File exists"), but then it should have carried on, with the existing symlinks in place. In fact, before trying to create the symlinks, the installer has already replaced both the opkg binary and the library files it uses, which were the suspect files, and so the rest of the installer should have worked - the output shows that it didn't, of course. So this is puzzling. My best guess is that the symlink you removed was pointing to a different library altogether, and in removing the symlink, you allowed it to be recreated by the installer, pointing to the correct library.

Oh well, all's well that ends well.

Cheers

Jeremy
