opkg update, opkg upgrade still results in the same error

But the forced remove above resolves it for me also, a subseqent update, 
upgrade gives no errors.

It needs to go somewhere, anyone upgrading actory-installed 2007.2 image 
without re-flashing will hit this error message until the forced remove 
is done.
