OPKG packages installation: IPERF3 is unknown

[thin5guniovi]

Hello,

I am currently trying to install iperf3 package on my RUTM52. However, I have encountered that after running the opkg install iperf3 command, the response was Unknown package ‘iperf3’ Package installation encountered an error, removing previously installed package, so I decided to follow the commands indicated in the following issue:

Wish: Add package lftp to Teltonika opkg feed

Hi, until Firmware 7.6 there was at least the openwrt opkg feed enabled. Now only Teltonika feed (see Firmware 07.06 missing opkg repositories) Can you please add lftp or another ftp client as package? We use it a lot for scripting ftp pulls and pushes on the Teltonika routers. I know, now I can/have to manually turn on the OpenWRT opkg feed now. cp /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf Cheers Torsten

Nonetheless, after running the first command opkg -e /etc/opkg/openwrt/distfeeds.conf update, I get the following downloading error, and it does not allow me to download iperf3 package — obviously.

I am aware Konrad encountered the same error last year ( OPKG packages installation - package is unknown - #3 by kchrosto ), but they did not indicate the solution for it. Does anyone know what am I doing wrong or what is happening?

Best regards,

Greetings,

Interestingly enough, I wasn’t able to replicate your issue as it allowed me to simply opkg update → opkg install iperf3 and that was it:

Of course, the test was run on a RUTX11 instead of an M52, and the firmware in use was 7.17.5, but this generally shouldn’t make much of a difference.

Could you please confirm that if running these commands in this particular order still returns the error?
opkg update
opkg install iperf3

Could you also confirm your current firmware version installed on the device? If not at least 7.17.5, could you kindly upgrade to it? Downloads can be found here: RUTM52 Firmware Downloads - Teltonika Networks Wiki

Hello,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! The current firmware version installed on my RUTM52 is 7.15.5, the same as yours. I am not sure what happened over the past few days while I was not working with it, but I have just run the commands you suggested, and the error did not appear (just like in Konrad’s case).
