As DraStic is crashing on me on Pokemon Volt White 2 (a White 2 ROM hack) occasionally, I thought updating SuperZaxxon from R1.54 to 1.55 would do the trick. However, all I get from using the Upgrade Pandora OS is this (tmp logfile):

Updating package lists...

Downloading http://openpandora.org/feeds/unstable/all/Packages.gz.

Inflating http://openpandora.org/feeds/unstable/all/Packages.gz.

Updated list of available packages in /var/lib/opkg/pandora-all.

Checking for updated packages...
 

... so basically, nothing happens. Both the Model Check app and System Info report R1.54 as my firmware.

 

What now? Please help me out here :)

You should check what boot screen says, currently online updates don't actually update the version file that model check/sysinfo use.

It is confusing that there's no easy way to find the actual firmware version.

It would be nice if updates bump the version number. Isn't that just a matter of adding a dummy package that contains just the /etc/op-version file?

The pandora team consists of me and ED (everyone else is AWOL), and we both don't have time (or want/need to spend it on other things). If somebody sent patches I'd happily merge them.
