Cannot install Alt-F packages via web interface

[swinches]

Hello all,

I am having a problem installing the Alt-f packages to either of the internal 1.5GB mounted drives. An error is occurring that I'm not sure how to resolve. It says "Downloaded wrong package?". Here is the output:

Have you previously installed any Alt-F package on any of the disks?

Have you changed the default package feed?

Because the package feed reported in the logs that you provided is not the default, old, one (dropbox), but the new one (sourceforge), and that can only be changed after installing Alt-F...

You can try to use the command line to remove traces of previous Alt-F packages instalation:

ipkg -clean

and use the default distributed feed, that should be in /etc/ipkg.conf (use a unix-compatible editor)

src Alt-F-stable http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1555717/DNS-323/Alt-F/pkgs/stable
src Alt-F-unstable http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1555717/DNS-323/Alt-F/pkgs/unstable
dest /Alt-F /Alt-F

Afterwards you can use the new feed, following the relevant discussion topic.

Solved?

hello,

I'm having 404 on dropbox when trying to install.

Any other location to configure?

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 NOT FOUND
