I'm trying to install opencv on Intel Edison's linux os. I followed http://makezine.com/projects/make-43/photographic-memory/ in order to install it via opkg. However I get the following error, when run opkg update:

Collected errors:
 * parse_from_stream_nomalloc: Missing new line character at end of file!
 * parse_from_stream_nomalloc: Missing new line character at end of file!
 * parse_from_stream_nomalloc: Missing new line character at end of file!
 * parse_from_stream_nomalloc: Missing new line character at end of file!

Apparently due to this error, it cannot install any package. I looked thoroughly to find a solution but none of them worked. I appreciate your help.

I found this sulution

cp /usr/lib/opkg/status /usr/lib/opkg/status.bak

rm /usr/lib/opkg/status

edit nano /etc/config/fstab

and add "enabled_fsck" to force FS check at start-up

option 'enabled_fsck' '1'

reboot;

and

This is a pretty easy error to fix, although I'm not sure why it is an error in the first place.

simply edit the offending file in /var/lib/opkg, go to the last line and add a newline

EX:

vi /var/lib/opkg/intel-iotdk

  • This is marvellous, but how to find which file is the offending one? – Wtower Sep 16 '16 at 13:01
  • I can't remember. Just make sure they all have it? Are there a ton of files there? (don't forget to upvote if this helped you) – Peter Mitrano Sep 17 '16 at 17:29
  • Tons of files indeed. Impossible without a script, and inefficient to write a script for this. The general line of thought is correct but unfortunately it did not help, ended up flushing. – Wtower Sep 17 '16 at 17:38
  • From this: http://www.shr-project.org/trac/ticket/988 it appears the problem is with /var/opkg/status , due to a bug in opkg itself .... no workaround is suggested, – MikeW Aug 22 '17 at 16:05
