Keep in mind that the opkg version used in the last SlugOS release is
rather old, though -- with any luck this issue has been long ago fixed.
Since attempts to move up to more recent opkg versions pretty much
failed for one reason or another, SlugOS remains with that rather old
version -- the philosophy of "better the devil you know" prevails. :)
