cannot install xev

[amyren]

I read that xev should be installable with opkg install xev

But when trying that from the console I first do the opkg update, and then I get three error messages, "unzip: Invalid gzip magic"

Next I try opkg install xev and I get "opkg_install_cmd: cannot install package xev"

Has this something to do with some repo setting. I havent changed anything, and have the latest superzaxxon version installed.

Please guide me here on what to do. I'm not a linux expert.

EDIT. Just found a way to install it manually by downloading the archive from this thread post #1

You should not be getting any errors on "opkg update", maybe your network has some transparent proxy or something?

Strangely the update worked without problems the next day. (on the same network)
