The snafu of killing your active SSH during upgrade is not strictly
Dropbear's fault, more the fault of the upgrade/install scripts
accompanying the package.
Regardless, I was unclear, but was referring to the other 'issues' when I
referred to opkg as 'imperfect' (being polite). Unless it's in the middle
of a string of inter-related dependencies, there's no reason that
previously-handled packages should be processed again. And ideally,
'environment-breaking' actions like restarting dropbear or restarting X
should be deferred until all package upgrades are completed.
