oupgrade returns "Failed to parse message data" even after updating via opkg

I can confirm my Onion Omega2+ is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi.

Running opkg update seems to succeed:

However, even after running opkg upgrade oupgrade, oupgrade still fails:

root@Omega-780B:/# oupgrade -c

Any advice as to how to proceed?

@bzhu95 please post the output of the commands:

uci show | grep opkg

I am having a similar issue. I rebuild devices fairly regularly and have never had issues, but it's been a while since I've rebuilt one. As of today, I am seeing the following when trying to oupgrade which is something I haven't seen before:

root@Omega-69A1:/# oupgrade -c
Failed to parse message data

When I try to go to latest:

root@Omega-69A1:/# oupgrade --latest
Failed to parse message data
Failed to parse message data

Not sure if this is related?

@carfarmer seems to be a similar issue, but I'm not able to reproduce it.

We'll need some more info to troubleshoot this, can you post the output of:

uci show onion
ubus call system board
opkg list-installed | grep oupgrade

Of course now it is working fine today and I can't reproduce the issue. I rebuild fairly often, so if I encounter the error again I will post the info you requested. Thanks!
