[OpenWrt-Devel] OpenWRT broken for some reason in my system

[Hannu Nyman]

One more "me too" report:
There was probably something unusual in the last OS kernel update for Ubuntu 
15.10 x64, which has caused some compiler tools to require re-installation.

I updated Ubuntu 15.10 kernel last week along other updates offered by the 
system, and after the kernel update I ran a command to purge old kernels, 
like I always do after kernel updates. At that point I noticed that 
exceptionally also a few of the build tools/prerequisities of Openwrt got 
uninstalled at the same time. Almost like there had been a forced dependency 
to the previous kernel version. Normally only the old kernel modules are 
purged, so this looked strange.

I re-installed the Openwrt prerequisities (gcc-multilib, flex, git-core, 
gettext, libssl-dev, ...). Not all of those needed re-installation, but some 
did. So some of them had been really uninstalled. Since then the things have 
been normal again.

Your situation pretty much matches what I would probably have seen if I had 
not re-installed the prerequisities.
Just try reinstalling the ~20 prerequisities for Openwrt and see if that helps.

I don't think that this has anything to do with Openwrt itself.
