Hi Seth,

If /var/lib/opkg is empty in your image, it can only be because its contents
have been deleted; and that could be either because the value of
IMAGE_FEATURES doesn't end up containing package-management, or alternatively
remove_packaging_data_files is being added manually to
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND (as core-image-minimal does). I'd suggest using
bitbake -e your-image | less and looking at the values of IMAGE_FEATURES and
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND to see what's really going on.

Cheers,
Paul

Thanks Paul!  As usual, you nailed it.  I missed the ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND that I pulled in when I copied core-image-minimal.
