Problem with upgrading opkg

[malte]

Hello

I have a problem upgrading opkg, the installed version is

0.1.4+svnr4562-r0

which is known to be buggy: https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1695

my feeds point to http://shr.bearstech.com/fso-testing/.. (all of them)
installed image: fso milestone 2, without upgrades

what i do:

# opkg update

works ok, looking into /var/lib/opkg/fso-armv4t says:

Package: opkg
Version: 0.1.4+svnr4488-r0

as expected

# opkg install opkg
Package opkg (0.1.4+svnr4562-r0) installed in root is up to date.

This is not expected! Why is it 'up to date'?

Ok - trying to force feed

#  opkg install

HOLD or PREFER explain the unexpected behavior.

My questing is: Where/How can I change this setting, allowing opkg to
upgrade itself.
