In wrlinux 6, the alternatives are placed under: /var/lib/opkg As declared in the /usr/bin/update-alternatives file: # admin dir ad="$OPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT/var/lib/opkg/alternatives" But on wrlinux 7, the alternatives are found under: /usr/lib/opkg content of: /usr/bin/update-alternatives # admin dir ad="$OPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT/usr/lib/opkg/alternatives" The old path (/var/lib) is still encountered in a number of python scripts.
configure two projects: one on wrlinux 6 and one on 7 qemux86 BSP, standard rootfs. check for the alternatives location and for the path occurrences in the python scripts
