Thanks for filing. That definitely seems like an unreasonable error.


@nmuggio; Do you think you could put together a regression test for this case, like those in the `opkg.git:tests/regress/`? That will help the fixer to verify that they have solved your issue. `tests/regress/issue11301.py` shows a similar workflow, that you can probably just copy and modify.

If you make that test, you can attach the `.py` directly to this bug. And the fixer can commit it into the codebase when they fix the issue.
