Description Ross Burton 2013-04-09 15:52:56 UTC 
opkg, unlike rpm and dpkg, doesn't let the package being upgraded run scripts.

As an example of where this is a problem see #4213.
Comment 1 Ross Burton 2013-04-11 10:23:28 UTC 
This isn't going to be fixable for 1.4, and we need to discuss with upstream if this is something that will be fixed at all.
Comment 2 Ross Burton 2013-09-25 09:04:43 UTC 
Not a massive issue and opkg has a new maintainer.  Sent upstream as https://code.google.com/p/opkg/issues/detail?id=104, closing this as WONTFIX.
