can not install ngrep dependencies

[XiaoliChan]

when i use opkg install ngrep , it told me this:

Unknown package 'ngrep'.
Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package ngrep.

[XiaoliChan]

how can i solve this problem?

It would appear that the ngrep ipk is not in the OpenWRT 15.05 repository (and doesn't seem to have been included in the previous releases 'new' packages).

You can install it by doing the following:

cd /tmp/
wget https://archive.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07/ar71xx/generic/packages/oldpackages/ngrep_1.45-3_ar71xx.ipk
opkg install ngrep_1.45-3_ar71xx.ipk
ln -s /usr/lib/libpcap.so.1 /usr/lib/libpcap.so.1.3

ngrep should run normally from then on.

@foxtrot Should this fix be added to the module in the case where it fails?

I have a repo. full of useful tools for the Pineapples.
You can find the latest version of ngrep there, compiled with the "correct" version of libpcap, so you don't have to sym-link stuff to get it working.

Here's a link to ngrep from my repo:

@adde88 Thanks guy , i will try it later

[adde88]

I've sent a pull-request to Hak5. Which would fix this problem.
But they could also decide to host the ngrep package on the hak5-repos. (that the pineapples are also using), which would fix the problem as well.

@foxtrot @sebkinne #37 (comment) should be pulled and then this issue should be closed.
