That you need to uninstall vim if you want to install vim-full.

I did remove vim, and made sure that it's gone by running "opkg list-installed | grep -i vi".
Anyway, I found that I could use "--force-depends" to install it.
Funny thing is the same error happened if I then removed and installed vim-full again. SO the "vim *" error didn't go away after installing vim-full once.
vim still works after installing the package with "--force-depends". _________________ Router: Asus RT-N18U (rev. A1)

The package vim is the stripped down variant of vim
and the package vim-full is the version with all features - you can NOT install both packages at the same time.

But I had removed vim (the Tiny build) before installing vim-full. There was nothing left (~# opkg list-installed | grep -i vi ) related to vim when I run "opkg install vim-full", except the vi of DD-WRT's Busybox.

Then your package database is probably broken if it thinks that vim is installed.
(force is a great way to break it, by the way)
Code:

Thanks.
Other than deleting everything opkg and restarted, could I resolve or remove this unknown "vim *" conflict? _________________ Router: Asus RT-N18U (rev. A1)

install vim again and remove it properly and hope it solves the problem.
But if vim is not installed but the database thinks it is installed then there is definitely something wrong.

Failed to find anything in Google about repairing the Entware database....
And the error didn't list the file(s) in conflict, well...
Thank you again!!
BTW, the content of the two packages:
Code:
Package vim-full (9.0-1) is installed on root and has the following files:
/opt/bin/vimdiff
/opt/share/vim/vimrc
/opt/bin/vim
/opt/lib/upgrade/keep.d/vim-full
Package vim (9.0-1) is installed on root and has the following files:
/opt/share/vim/vimrc
/opt/bin/vim
/opt/lib/upgrade/keep.d/vim

I am fine with vim. I first used vi (no vim) of NCR Tower mini-computer in school decades ago. It's not that hard to use. Somehow I never forgot about vi's commands.
Back in DOS days, I used Wordstar-like editors, including Sidekick and QEdit. _________________ Router: Asus RT-N18U (rev. A1)

I actually executed "opkg remove --autoremove *" multiple times to eliminate all packages, reboot router, run generic.sh again to build a new Entware base. Same error when "opkg install vim-full"!
I will try again later. Maybe I didn't really remove all Entware system files. _________________ Router: Asus RT-N18U (rev. A1)

And it would be very helpful if you could post the complete output so I can see which package is installed from which feed.
As you can see it works fine for me
Code:
opkg remove --autoremove vim
opkg remove --autoremove vim-full
opkg install vim
opkg remove --autoremove vim
opkg install vim-full
