I've been seeing this the last week across all my OpenWRT devices for 23.05.5 updates.

[marcust]

I also saw that on a freshly flashed 23.05.5, after doing an opkg package upgrade it was gone, I guess because there are no packages to upgrade anymore.
I don't see it on auc -n -b 24.10 -B 24.10.0-rc2, but I don't know if it was there before the opkg upgrade or the dry run influences it.

Is there a workaround?

Edit: Same after upgrading the packages:

Same here when upgrading 23.x via auc

Are you sure you want to continue the upgrade process? [N/y] y
unknown package '(null)' requested.
Bad message (77)

Would also like to know if there is a workaround, so I can test 24.10 RC builds on these devices.

Edit - appears to work if I immediately jump branches to 24.10, but I was trying to upgrade to the latest 23.05 before doing that.

[aparcar]

I'll see what's happening there and let you know

I'll see what's happening there and let you know

Were you able to check ? Because I am not able either to use auc with my 23.05.5 version running on netgear,wax202 and tplink,eap615-wall-v1 and get the exact same error as Howels (package null, bad message 77)
