Alright so I tried to install the plug-in again and I got an error that these dependencies were not met:
libgcc1 (>= 4.9.2) * libstdc++6 (>= 4.9.2) * libc6 (>= 2.21) *
The versions of these that I had on my Open Black Hole were as follows (even after doing 'opkg update')
libgcc1 (>= 4.9.1), libstdc++6 (>= 4.9.1), libc6 (>= 2.20)
I'm not sure if this is the correct procedure or not but I found libgcc1 4.9.2 on the Debian Packages website and tried to install that, however it also had dependancies:
multiarch-support * gcc-4.9-base (= 4.9.2-10) *
So I found the 2 of these and installed them, and then installed libgcc2 4.9.2, so that was 1 down.
root@vuduo2:/usr/lib/opkg# opkg list | grep libgcc

I tried to install libc6 and got the following:
root@vuduo2:/usr/lib/opkg# opkg install /tmp/libc6_2.21-9_mipsel.deb
Upgrading libc6 from 2.20-r0 to 2.21-9 on root.

To remove package debris, try `opkg remove libc6`.
To re-attempt the install, try `opkg install libc6`.
Collected errors:
* pkg_run_script: package "libc6" preinst script returned status 1.
* preinst_configure: Aborting installation of libc6.
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package libc6.
So now I'm trying to install dpkg which also has dependencies:
libdpkg-perl (= 1.16.17) * xz-utils * patch * make * binutils * base-files (>= 5.0.0) *
I started with libdpkg-perl 1.16.17, however one of the dependencies for this is dpkg (>= 1.15.8)! How can I install dpkg is it requires libdpkg-perl, which require dpkg!
Can anyone please tell me if I am going to right way about this or not? It just seems that each package I install has an endless list of dependencies and I'm going around in circles!
