Everytime I try to install a package I got an error:

Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: 4
Collected errors:
Cannot find package e2_loadepg-050.gz
Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update'

Every package I try to install, same error.
Command I use is
ipkg install e2_loadepg-050.gz

I put the package in /tmp and run command from within /tmp-folder.
Tried from both telnet and from menus in image.
I run PKT e2 image

Please help!

This is because IPKG is only for .ipk packagies!
your file is .gz
so You need to use
tar vxzf e2_loadepg-050.gz
Hope this helps..

It's exactly the same error when running command
ipkg install /tmp/python-zlib_2.5.1-ml4_mipsel.ipk

It's the same with all ipk-files

And also when I am choosing the ipk file in dreamexplorer.
I got the question Do you want to install this package? and then I am doing this it says cannot find package.
But it is there for god sake!

Must the package exist at PKT server or what?

Found a file in /etc/ipkg named official-feed.config with this content:
src/gz pkt http://addon.pkteam.pl/ipbox_e2/plugins
src/gz pkt_emu http://addon.pkteam.pl/ipbox_e2/emu_new_10

Is that the problem, that my ipk files is not present at these url:s? And can I add more sources to get it to work?

try doing it from your web browser
just type the box IP in your web browser
open the plugins option
ftp the file to /tmp
and try it from there

it works on the AAF image

The /etc/ipkg/official-feed.config
is for downloading from the PKT server not for installling..
dreamexplorer may your problem it made for dreambox...
The best way to install a package is to upload it to /tmp then use the menu to install the package on aaf this is /RED/PLUGINS/ TMP IPK INSTALL

if this still wont work then try reimaging your box as it sounds like you have problem with image...
