Not Receiving Verbose Output From opkg

Question

When I run opkg update or opkg upgrade, it will pause for a few seconds, and then return to a new line.

root@device:~$opkg update
root@device:~$

I've tried running the command with the --verbosity=# command with the same results as above. Are there some settings that I might have messed up or improperly configured?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

1) Did you try different verbose levels?

opkg -V 4 list                   --->  List available packages 
opkg -V 4 list-installed         --->  List installed packages
opkg -V 4 update                 --->  Update list of available packages

Take a look at opkg --help,

--verbosity <level>     Verbosity levels:                   

    0 errors only
    1 normal messages (default)
    2 informative messages
    3 debug
    4 debug level 2

Note: opkg could list packages only if status file exists in opkg directory. opkg status, repo, info...files and folders will be located at /var/lib/opkg/
