opkg woes with Angstrom A6A 11-22-12

Hello all,

After imaging a BeagleBone A6 with the most recent Angstrom A6A 11-22-12 image, I get the following errors with an opkg update && opkg upgrade:

Collected errors:

I’ve tried most combinations of removing udev-dev and systemd-dev to try to resolve these conflicts, to no avail.

Any ideas how to resolve this issue so that a fresh A6A image can be updated to the most recent revision of Angstrom on the BeagleBone?

TIA

Hi,

I just tried running opkg update/upgrade, and I get the same problem. Same image: A6A, downloaded from circuitco.

You can force systemd-dev to install despite the conflict by running “opkg upgrade --force-overwrite”, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you really need whatever is new in systemd-dev. Sometimes these problems are “automagically” fixed by the next update of the conflicting package, udev-dev in this case.

Yeah, I’ve tried --force-overwrite but it still results with udev errors. Guess I’ll wait a few days for the Angstrom team to work this out.

I’ll go ahead and throw in my own “me too”. There’s definitely something amiss with the latest Angstrom update.
It doesn’t seem to break anything, it’s just annoying.

same problem for me, does someone have any workaround?

My “workaround” was to switch to using the Robert Nelson Ubuntu Quantal image.
