See #204. The latest snapshots of OpenWrt have transitioned to using APK instead of OPKG for package management, and this installer relies on OPKG. So the quick workaround is to explicitly pin the latest version of OpenWrt that still used OPKG.

Eventually, it will make sense to port this installer to APK, but at the moment there are problems with post-install scripts of some packages that we depend on, namely openwrt/openwrt#17439

So for the time being, the best strategy to keep this repo working is to just pin the version.
