After upgrading a library to a newer version, for example, something 
called libdvbsi++ from 0.3.6 to 0.3.7, running opkg upgrade outputs the 
following cryptic error message:

Not selecting libdvbsi++1 0.3.6 as installing it would break existing 
dependencies.

Adding "-V2" to opkg upgrade expands that with the following message:

opkg_prepare_upgrade_pkg: Package libdvbsi++1 (0.3.7-r2.0) installed in 
root is up to date.

So apparently it knows about the later version, so why complain about 
the old one?

There is only one package that (r)depends on that lib (enigma2). Nothing 
else needs it.

This often happens with other packages as well. Is this a bug in opkg, 
or is it trying to tell us we're doing something wrong?
