Please advise.

I think I had a similar problem, but it was solved by upgrading to v1.5.7.

I just upgraded to v1.5.7. There are no packages to upgrade now, so I am not sure if the sigs validate or not. I could probably figure that out with opkg-key. Hopefully the sigs are all valid in the next round of updates. Someone should probably correct the sigs for v1.5.5 though, so that those whom have not yet upgraded will be able to run the upgrade command with confidence.

When you run opkg update, you should get "Signature check passed" after each pair of downloads.

@TMakarios, you are correct. All sigs pass on v1.5.7 :-) I will close this issue.
