    Hi,

    I got the following error when i try to do “opkg update“:

    admin@mtcdt:~# opkg update
Downloading http://multitech.net/mlinux/feeds/3.3/all/Packages.gz.
Downloading http://multitech.net/mlinux/feeds/3.3/arm926ejste/Packages.gz.
Downloading http://multitech.net/mlinux/feeds/3.3/mtcdt/Packages.gz.
Collected errors:
* opkg_download: Failed to download http://multitech.net/mlinux/feeds/3.3/all/Packages.gz, wget returned 8.
* opkg_download: Failed to download http://multitech.net/mlinux/feeds/3.3/arm926ejste/Packages.gz, wget returned 8.
* opkg_download: Failed to download http://multitech.net/mlinux/feeds/3.3/mtcdt/Packages.gz, wget returned 8.

    Then, I tried to download “Packages.gz” package manually using wget, and I got ERROR 404: Not Found. (I got the same result using my computer)

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I used 3.3.15 folder. then i install pip (opkg install python-pi), but i am getting the following error when I try to use it:

    admin@mtcdt:~# pip --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pip", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources
admin@mtcdt:~#

    If the issue is related to the folder I have chosen, Which should be the criteria to chose the right folder?

    Thanks!

    I have also noticed that the “opkg install python-pip” does install a functioning pip. But it must be installed before the ez_setup.py is used.

    I still have some troubles when I try to install pip, even with the ez_setup. I used the 3.3.24 folder. 

    admin@mtcdt:~# opkg install python-pip
Unknown package 'python-pip'.
Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package python-pip.

    Can someone help me to solve that ?

    You must successfully do “opkg update” before you can install more packages.

    Thanks for your answer John.

    Can you explain me how to do it successfully please ?

    I have the same error as Diego : 

    admin@mtcdt:~# opkg update

    I am sorry but I am not sure to understand what are the steps to do it successfully.
    Thanks !

    In some levels of mLinux, the file /etc/opkg/mlinux-feed.conf there is a bug, and the URL’s in the file are bad.

    To determine the correct URL, cat /etc/mlinux-version to determine which level of mLinux is installed. (maybe 3.3.6?).

    Then look at available URL’s. They are found by going from:

    Downloads

    This has a link called pre-built packages.

    This goes to a directory called:
    http://www.multitech.net/mlinux/feeds/

    Then you pick the level you desire. If you just want to install additional packages, I would recommend the directory that matches the version of mLinux you already have.

    Then you must edit /etc/opkg/mlinux-feed.conf file, and modify the ‘3.3’ to the exact micro-level of 3.3 you have, such as 3.3.6. There will be several lines in the file with the incorrect path in the URL.

    Looking back, this issue was fixed in 3.3.13.
