Description

Hi,
I'm using a BananaPi R3 with openwrt last image (23.05) downloaded from openwrt firmware selector.
During zabbix-agentd installation, opkg install zabbix-agentd I discovered that it failed because "libc" had no candidates for my architecture.
But....very strange....Browsing manually the official repo I noticed that "libc" actually exists for BPI R3 arch.
So using these commands I was able to install libc, then zabbix agent

wget wget https://mirror-03.infra.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.2/targets/mediatek/filogic/packages/libc_1.2.4-4_aarch64_cortex-a53.ipk
opkg install ./libc_1.2.4-4_aarch64_cortex-a53.ipk
opkg install zabbix-agentd

Could be an indexing issue on the repo I think

Research direction

Start by reproducing the opkg install zabbix-agentd failure on a BananaPi R3 running OpenWrt 23.05, then compare the repository metadata with the manually downloaded libc_1.2.4-4_aarch64_cortex-a53.ipk. Done means the package index exposes a valid libc candidate for this architecture and the documented installation succeeds.
