Hi folks, for some reason I often suffer from double (or triple or...) entries in my /usr/lib/opkg/status and decided to write a little script that removes double entries. To be safe I opted to remove the newer entries and keep only the oldest.
Sorry for little comments in the code. HTH someone Jan
#!/usr/bin/python
#
# opkgrepair.py - removes double pkg entries in an opkg status file
#
# usage: opkgrepair.py <input-file> <output-file>

import sys
inputdata = open(sys.argv[1], 'r').readlines()

if ((len(last) > 0) and (len(cur) > 0)):
if not (last[0] == cur[0]):
for line in last:
outputfile.write(line)
else:
print("Removing " + last[0])
