A new Flyspray task has been opened.  Details are below. 

User who did this - Sven Roederer (SAm0815) 

Attached to Project - OpenWrt/LEDE Project
Summary - opkg: false errormessage when installing pacakges with missing deps from local filesystem
Task Type - Bug Report
Category - Base system
Status - Unconfirmed
Assigned To - 
Operating System - All
Severity - Medium
Priority - Very Low
Reported Version - openwrt-21.02
Due in Version - Undecided
Due Date - Undecided
Details - For Master and 21.02 I found that running opkg install package.ipk will raise an errormessage about incompatible architecture when there is an unmet dependency.
I've choosen to open against 21.02, as it might more easy to spot before release.

Previous version of opkg returned a "unresolved dependency" in such case, with is correct and also points into the direction how to solve the installation. Console-output is

jupp-data:

 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package jupp-data.

This happens already on a virgin system, when the package, e.g. jupp-data, is transferred via scp to get installed offline. I found this when trying to add a package on a system without direct network-connection, so there is no opkg-cache.

My finding is based on a "blank" unit without package-cache
* rebooting the board
* scp-ing the package to /tmp
* then login
* calling opkg install 
The workflow is based on the situation, where the board has no internet-access and I can only login via IPv6-link-local, to install a missing package.

This was seen with following code: "OpenWrt SNAPSHOT, r16599-43dad22025", "OpenWrt 21.02.0-rc1, r16046-59980f7aaf", 

I had some investigation done with on the ML, here some pointers:

A bit of digging points to a commit after "opkg 2020-08-31.cf44c2feb606" causing this (see also http://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2021-May/034924.html)
