What’s going on? This worked fine on AR-300M.

Interesting. It looks like you installed it using SSH whereas I tried to install it using the Luci GUi. Would that make the difference?

Btw. the menu item ‘load balancing’ does become available despite the error messages. I am just unsure if I can expect it to work normally.

It is postinst script which means the package is installed. But some post-install script failed.
