[PATCH] rootfs_ipk.bbclass: use force-defaults (Bug 5133)

[Rolf Leggewie]

From: Rolf Leggewie <oe-devel@rolf.leggewie.biz>

Without -force-defaults, I currently cannot build any image because opkg hangs, waiting for
user input that of course never comes.

I'm explicitly not sure if this is the right way to fix this, but we should we fix it soon.

If opkg expects input during offline installation, the packages are 
buggy and we should fix the offending recipes.

In theory this patch oughtn't to be necessary, in that opkg shouldn't be
asking for user input unless there is something wrong with the packages
it's trying to install (i.e. overlapping contents).  So, the "right" way
to fix the underlying issue is to address whatever is wrong with the
packages.  

However, no matter how broken the packages are, it clearly isn't
desirable for opkg to hang indefinitely and your patch seems like it
should indeed stop that from happening.  So yes, please go ahead and
check it in.

I suppose is the missing PREFERRED_PROVIDER.

In my case angstrom-opie-image installs bluez4 in rootfs but opkc-cl
is waiting input about bluez3 upgrade...

After 30 mins I killed the process but don't have here the stdout...
