Open IPKG packages from command line

[Kasper Johansen]

Hi list.

Is it possible to extract a IPK-package (some_package.ipk)? I do not 
want to install anything - just inspect the package on my Ubuntu-machine.

I have been able to extract some packages by using "tar -zxvf" after 
renaming the extension to tar.gz - though I cant with all packages (and 
I dont know why).

Can anyone point in the direction on how to do so?
