Hey,
the following is the recipe to mess up your system.

1. start assassin
2. killall -9 assassin
3. opkg update <- fails with:

Collected errors:
 * Could not obtain administrative lock
root at om-gta02:~# 


where is the lock file stored? why doesn't opkg detect that it is a stale 
lock? where to start to look?
