"null" entry in package index
There's a stray "null": null entry about halfway into one of the static package index files:
https://sysupgrade.openwrt.org/json/v1/snapshots/packages/x86_64-index.json
Current "modifed date" on the file is "6/25/2024, 5:20:22 AM" which would be PDT, so 12:20 UTC.
I first appeared in my owut test regressions at around 2024-06-24 about 20:00Z, possibly a couple hours earlier, but it's new and have not seen it before
Looks like it might be on the boundary between feeds, haven't looked at the asu code yet, just wanted to get a log while details are fresh in my mind. Also have not look at other recently built platform package index files to see if it's present there.
"zyxel-reset": "2022.12.23~e1def7b5-r1", "null": null, "csstidy": "2021.06.13~707feaec-r1",
I just looked in about a dozen other files, and it also appears in the three aarch64_cortex*, but not in anything else. Everything I checked has similar update timestamps.
Here's the one from https://sysupgrade.openwrt.org/json/v1/snapshots/packages/aarch64_cortex-a53-index.json
"zram-swap": "32", "zyxel-bootconfig": "1", "null": null, "UDPspeeder": "20230206.0-r2", "aardvark-dns"
Will check later and see if it's transient.
Two hours later and the "null" entry is gone from x86, but still in aarch64. I suspect this is an upstream glitch as I can't find anything in the asu update code that would generate the entry.
"null" entry seems to be persisting in the aarch64 index files, but I don't see it elsewhere. Last check 2024-06-27 12:30 PDT.
"null" finally disappeared in the aarch64 builds, it was there yesterday.
Closing issue with no root cause ever discovered.
