I think there are 2 problems:
the packages are now here
https://archive.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/mvebu/generic/packages/
but I think you should get redirected
and if you try opkg print-architecture:

root@OpenWrt:/# opkg print-architecture
arch all 1
arch noarch 1
arch mvebu64 10

so you need mvebu64 architecture packages. Or am I wrong?

I am slowly building all possible packages here:
https://github.com/multiflexi/EIT-Master_Thesis_project
but it is slow and tedious work because not all packages are possible to be build.

Hi stamil,

this is expected behavior since the default package sources for OpenWrt development release are not hosted anywhere at the moment, whereas package sources for stable releases are hosted on official OpenWrt pages in binary format. Any packages that you wish to include in your OpenWrt image will need to be manually selected in make menuconfig interface.

hi flexi,
Thanks for your help,i have been searching it for a while 

then similarly i have facing error on building any packages in Ubuntu. The error i faced is there is no build directory in the path
 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build is not available, please help me to retrieve that.
I have faced this error while building the Netmap on Ubuntu.

Kindly reply as soon as possible,because i’m struggling choosing on the correct OS for the board.

This problem has been discussed in different part of this forum http://macchiatobin.net/forums/topic/install-linux-headers/. There is patch. I was unable to compile rtl8812au drivers but I compiled Aravis without problems.

Hi,
I need kernel headers for compilation,till now i won’t fount it please help to resolve this issue.
I won’t found the linux-headers in /usr/src path

can i get the custom linux-header

[multi.flexi]

The answer to you question is in the link I provided. Just use that patch and you can then build a .deb package with headers.
