Vpn Options Greyed Out

[Crookclaw]

Hi there everyone,


I've been trying to create a VPN connection without much success. The main problem being that I cannot get access to the options to set it up in the first place. When I access the "configure VPN" tab through the wifi connections button on the task bar, the add, edit, delete etc. buttons are greyed out. Similar to what's described here: http://bugs.openpand...ils&task_id=154


I've gone through the solution suggested at the website, but run into trouble at the last command. The "opkg install networkmanager-openvpn" comes back with:


"Installing networkmanager-openvpn (0.8.1-r0.6) to root...


Downloading http://www.angstrom-...0.6_armv7a.ipk.


Installing libudev0 (151-r24.6) to root...


Downloading http://www.angstrom-...4.6_armv7a.ipk.


Collected errors:


* check_data_file_clashes: Package libudev0 wants to install file /lib/libudev.so.0.6.1


But that file is already provided by package * check_data_file_clashes: udev


* check_data_file_clashes: Package libudev0 wants to install file /lib/libudev.so.0


But that file is already provided by package * check_data_file_clashes: udev


* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package networkmanager-openvpn."


I'm not techie enough to fully understand what this all means, or how to get around it. All I know is that that is all I could find about setting up a VPN, and it doesn't work, so any help is greatly appreciated

If you do

sudo opkg install networkmanager-openvpn --force-overwrite

it will overwrite the existing libraries with new ones, solving the errors. I did this when I was getting modemmanager, it seems to work okay, doesn't seem to have broken anything.
