Hey all,
I've been having a really weird issue with opkg for a while, now. Whenever I do anything on opkg, I get bombarded with messages about packages that are unable to be installed.

This is strange because the device is fully connected to the internet, it can install/uninstall other packages, and each and every one of these packages is available from my mirror. I've tried opkg clean, opkg --force-reinstall, etc. I can't squeeze any other useful information out of opkg with -V4, and it vomits this every time I issue any opkg command. None of these packages are currently installed (according to opkg), and none of them seem to be required by any other. I have plenty of space in my /tmp directory, and I've tried using -t. Nothing seems to make opkg happy.
Anyone ever seen this? Any ideas?
