having trouble installing socat on home node #147

I see socat exists in the openwrt package directory: https://openwrt.org/packages/pkgdata/socat

But my node is unaware of it:

root@daisydebug:/# opkg install socat
Unknown package 'socat'.
Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package socat.

Any idea what I should check next? I guess I'm wondering what steps I need to take to determine if a package should be available to my node.

Maybe something wrong with /etc/opkg.conf, what does opkg update return? Also I noticed that the socat openwrt package you linked doesn't appear to support ar71xx architecture, maybe that's why it isn't being found?

There appears to be an old socat package for ar71xx here, https://archive.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/packages/packages/ You could try adding this repo to your opkg.conf or you could install the ipk manually by wget-ing the file and running opkg install socat_1.7.3.0-1_ar71xx.ipk.
