both also got

could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: permission denied)
unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/) are you root?

then maybe reboot or kill pkgmgrd before running like:

On linux side:
$ sudo apt-get install wget
$ wget http://alturl.com/4x6n2 -O opensh.deb
$ scp opensh.deb developer@192.168.2.15:.
$ ssh developer@192.168.2.15
and on device
$ killall pkgmgrd
$ pkgmgr install-file -f opensh.deb
$ opensh
$ passwd

Then on windows, use web browser to download the deb, install tunnelier, and use the graphical scp client to move deb to the device. Or use mass storage mode to move the deb to the device.

And then login to device and install the deb.
