Comment:

 why do *.list files grow with many duplicate entries ?
  - It's a bug in the hash_table.c hast_table did not check key hit after
 second entry. This had been solved at #4830.

 why does opkg (sometimes) open a pkg list so many times ?
  - It's a issue of the reference count scheme. I am planing to make it
 more lazy, and reduce the reading times.  Still working on it.

 Another issue that cause a file been written for many times is solved at
 #4829. (Set the flag back.)

 Thank you for reporting this.
