Cannot satisfy dependencies
You will get the message “Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for...”
- if the kernel version installed on your device does not match the kernel version required by the package you want to install. This happens very easily when you are using a snapshot image.
- Solution #1: Install all needed packages directly after installing the snapshot image, not on the next day.
- Solution #2: Try to install via opkg with option
--force-depends(=Install/remove despite failed dependencies). Mind that this is likely to fail for kernel related packages (kmods). - Solution #3: Make local copy of snapshot packages (not recommended, needs much space!)
- if you are using a snapshot image, and the snapshot packages are missing in current builds.
- Solution: Wait some days, then check if the packages are being built again.
As general advice, especially for inexperienced users: Go for the latest stable release (if available for your device), not a snapshot version, then the package repositories will match and packages will be available.
