When I try to run the ‘ipkg install mt-daapd’ command, I get an ‘ipkg: invalid magic’ error after download. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks!

I got this myself. It turns out that the built-in wget has some problems and segfaults. You might try downloading all those packages from your workstation, copying them over to the MSS and installing from those packages rather than fetching via wget.
