Unable to install packages that depend on 4.14.81-1 kernel on 0.3.3 b251 firmware

I'm trying to install iptables-mod-ipopt and kmod-ipt-ipopt.

I did oupgrade and opkg update before running opkg install iptables-mod-ipopt kmod-ipt-ipopt and got:

Installing iptables-mod-ipopt (1.6.2-1) to root...
Downloading http://repo.onioniot.com/omega2/packages/core/iptables-mod-ipopt_1.6.2-1_mipsel_24kc.ipk
Collected errors:

 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package iptables-mod-ipopt.

I'm running an Omega2 LTE

• Firmware version 0.3.3 b251
• Linux version 4.14.81 (root@d7d1d9c1ebc3) (gcc version 7.3.0 (OpenWrt GCC 7.3.0 r0+7490-bddedc4e25)) #0 Fri Jun 4 20:35:27 2021

Any help will be appreciated!

I used opkg install --force-depends to make it install in the absence of an official fix for now as I figured the slight difference in actual vs required kernel versions won't affect this module. Would be nice to get an official fix for it.

@jasoneer For some reason I missed this question, but as a general rule force-depends is a good place to start but won't always work.

@jasoneer Try again using the very latest build (b253).

It looks like the kernel checksum changed when we released b253:
