OK I just removed a 3rd-party repository from /etc/opkg/ 
(rabenfrost.net) and ran 'opkg update' again which succeeded apart from 
the normal signature 404 errors. Then when trying the update:

---------------
root at om-gta02:/var/volatile/tmp# opkg install ./ncurses_5.4-r15_armv4t.ipk
Multiple packages (ncurses and ncurses) providing same name marked HOLD 
or PREFER.  Using latest.
Multiple packages (ncurses and ncurses) providing same name marked HOLD 
or PREFER.  Using latest.
Multiple packages (ncurses and ncurses) providing same name marked HOLD 
or PREFER.  Using latest.
Upgrading ncurses on root from 5.4-r14 to 5.4-r15...
Collected errors:
 * Package ncurses wants to install file /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5
    But that file is already provided by package  * libncurses5
---------------

I can't remove libncurse5 without removing ncurses, and I can't remove 
ncurses without removing a whole lot of packages that I need. Have I 
stumbled across a dependency issue?
