This is because there are duplicate values in PACKAGE_ARCHS for atom-pc machine settings, which results the log_check for ipk failed. We need to remove those duplicate values when generating the opkg configuration files.
According to RP, the PACKAGE_ARCHS should never have duplicates in it. He committed a quick workaround http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=bd161f759461d4fc96ad78cb60861e6ea34f0529 into master. And proposed a better one on the OE Core list as it needs discussion.
Between Joshua Lock's commits and mine, we have the duplicates removed and also sanity tests in place to detect duplicates, hence resolving this as fixed.
The following patch is used to check the duplication of PACKAGE_ARCHS. http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=e235357841311a4681c747cebcc5e51940aec606
