And what exactly are you trying to solve then? It seems you are more concerned with build-time dependencies than you are with run-time ones. Building opkg-utils is a drop in the bucket (it is quite small) and can usually be ignored, as long as it's not installed when you don't need it. The resulting update-alternatives-opkg package is a tiny one with no extra RDEPENDS and that's what matters. If your concern is that it builds opkg-utils and its dependencies even though you may be using rpm, then it is also true in the other direction - rpm gets built when IPK/opkg is the default package manager... -- Denys
