openvpn package not availble with opkg

[mattdm]

I have a new IP67 conduit
model: MTCDTIP-L4N1-266A-915
reflashed with mlinux OS (version 5.2.7)

I attempted to install openvpn using the following commands:
root@mtcdt:~# pppd call lvw2 [to start up cell service]
root@mtcdt:~# opkg update
Downloading http://multitech.net/mlinux/feeds/5.2.7/all/Packages.gz.
Updated source ‘mlinux-all’.
Downloading http://multitech.net/mlinux/feeds/5.2.7/arm926ejste/Packages.gz.
Updated source ‘mlinux-arm926ejste’.
Downloading http://multitech.net/mlinux/feeds/5.2.7/mtcdt/Packages.gz.
Updated source ‘mlinux-mtcdt’.

root@mtcdt:~# opkg install openvpn
I get the following:
Collected errors:
* opkg_prepare_url_for_install: Couldn’t find anything to satisfy ‘openvpn’.

I also tried using apt-get, but I don’t have that installed. Not sure installing apt-get on this will help or if its possible.

Update:
I was able to install an earlier version from the mlinux 5.1.8 repository. I’m not sure if that is the best way to install it so we’ll see if it works.
