Error building the firmware image - 22.03.05 -> 23.05.0

[richb-hanover]

As detailed in #639, I am trying to upgrade my 22.03.05 router to 23.05.0. I checked the "Advance" box in the Configuration tab, selected 23.05.0, then got the error message below.

@eehmke @aparcar I see this looks like the same problem as https://github.com/openwrt/asu/issues/639#issuecomment-1793200005. Is there a workaround? What other troubleshooting information can I provide?

@richb-hanover In one case I could do the upgrade when using advanced mode. I disabled all wolfssl packages before the generation of the upgrade. This seemed to work, but I could not repeat the procedure on another device. Finally I did a complete sysupgrade using the package from the firmware selector. Of course, I had to reinstall all needed packages and restore the configuration backup.

As I have more devices to upgrade, I step back for now and wait for a solution.

On the box that was successfully upgraded these packages are installed: libmbedtls12 - 2.28.4-1 libustream-mbedtls20201210 - 2023-02-25-498f6e26-1 px5g-mbedtls - 9 wpad-basic-mbedtls - 2023-09-08-e5ccbfc6-4

and no wolfssl packages. I would expect that attended sysupgrade would take care of this.

We have now several duplicate issues: Duplicate issue #618 Duplicate issue #630 Duplicate issue #633 Duplicate issue #636 Duplicate issue #640 Duplicate issue #645 Duplicate issue #648

and maybe more. What can be done to raise the priority?

Another duplicate #938 and I also hit this issue. Would be really useful to fix or provide a reliable workaround. Now I see things could be easy I can't do it the hard way anymore!!! :sunglasses:

update: so removing wolfssl packages also helped me. But upon restart radios were down. Through error messages in the system log I figured out that nl80211 and acouple other packages were missing. Also previously I had hostapd-wolfssl which was missing now. So I installed hostapd-mbedssl.

Anyway, seems to be a cool feature for point release upgrades. But for major upgrades likely more trouble.
