ah, i wondered where the opkg db was:

Package: libc6
Version: 2.6.1-r16
Status: deinstall user installed
Architecture: armv4t

Package: libc6
Version: 2.7-18
Depends: libgcc1
Suggests: locales, glibc-doc
Provides: glibc-2.7-1
Conflicts: libterm-readline-gnu-perl (<< 1.15-2), tzdata (<< 2007k-1),
tzdata-etch
Status: install prefer,user not-installed
Architecture: armel

which doesn't look great. i'm not sure how it has two versions
installed. or whether deleting the second entry entirely will fix
things.

is there anyone here who knows opkg inside out?
