Installing new luci-packages makes LuCI unusable on OpenWRT 10.03.1-RC6

[juergen@…]

I use 10.03.1-RC6, r28680, on a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND. This is an ar71xx machine.

After uploading the firmware image, the router initially worked fine. After installing luci-ddns via the software management web GUI, however, LuCI returns the following error message:

/usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/admin/uci.lua:22: attempt to call global '_' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
	/usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/admin/uci.lua:22: in function 'v'
	/usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:496: in function 'createtree'
	/usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:179: in function 'dispatch'
	/usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:143: in function </usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:142>

I suppose the reason is a mixup of different luci package versions:

root@openwrtrouter:~# opkg list-installed | grep luci
luci - 0.10+svn7852-1
luci-app-ddns - 0.10+svn7852-1
luci-app-firewall - 0.10+svn7852-1

luci-sys - 0.9+svn6512-1
luci-theme-base - 0.10+svn7852-1
luci-theme-openwrt - 0.10+svn7852-1
luci-uci - 0.9+svn6512-1
luci-uvl - 0.9+svn6512-1
luci-web - 0.9+svn6512-1

I would have expected the flashing process to remove any older package versions, however.

Yes, mixing luci versions breaks things. You should adjust your /etc/opkg.conf to point to the 10.03.1-rc6 packages.
