It won't work. Also, installing nano from the repos should work fine.

This list is kept in RAM, so every time you reboot your device it's lost and you have to run the command again. So, run the command again, then try opkg install nano and it should work fine.

resolved
I had to oupgrade -l to enable the changes to
etc/opkg/dist......... uncomment lines 2&5

oupgrade alone did not upgrade to latest firmware, which threw me

Cheers

Always best to create a new thread and refer to the past thread if it is relevant.
