This is better however opkg is still unhappy. This is build with this
pseudo patch applied:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/main/builders/nightly-ipk/builds/469

and this is a build with the same patches expect for the pseudo one:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/main/builders/nightly-ipk/builds/470

so something is still unhappy :(. The rpm builds were a lot better
though.

Cheers,
