For things to work, the package manager will need to have some certain 
abilities. For example, it can accept a parameter which points to the 
database it uses (e.g., --dbpath). I think RPM/dnf have all the ability 
to make things work. I'm not familiar with opkg though. Even with 
RPM/dnf, updating SDK from binary package feeds still needs some tool 
which invokes rpm/dnf, because you'll need to do some relocation or some 
mapping or creating some temp root directory, etc, in that tool.
