Thanks Robert!

For my eduction, I don't understand this yet, though, and I don't want to
cause issues like this again...

How does RPM manage to add a provides of libnl-genl2 here?

Hm, there has been a libnl-genl.ipk all the time. Why no rpm?

I can see how 'libnl-genl-3-200' could be an issue with RPM based systems
(whereas libnl-genl2 shouldn't be a problem, except that RPM seems to add
that as a provides???) But I don't understand how this wasn't a problem
before?

What am I missing?
