No; the Cervantes runs an old Debian wheezy distro and is missing some modern niceties. As per that thread, Cervantes users need both koreader *and* some .debs for the full experience (you'll note that kodeps is compiled for `armel`, not for x86
). safemode, unzip and iputils-ping all seem fine, but the iproute2 .deb in that .tgz fails to install, and I'm unsure what tools I'd need to rebuild it myself (koxtoolchain and a src deb maybe, but I've no idea where that src deb is as Wheezy's basically vanished from the internet).
The md5sum for iproute2 in both ko-deps.tgz and ko-deps-latest.tgz matches, so unfortunately I can't just grab a working version from the old package.
