Description Vicentiu 2018-01-18 09:56:52 UTC 
Suppose you have the following dependencies  A->B->C->D and D is missing from the feed.

opkg install A returns
nothing provides B needed by A

opkg install B returns
nothing provides C needed by B

The messages would be more useful if opkg install A returns
D is missing, hence B and C can't be installed.
