In the meantime i found a second machine where those files exist. And
i also know how to reproduce the problem.
After a "rm -rf $opkg_root; sh openpkg-*-*-.<platform>-opk.sh" everything
looks clean. But as soon as i try to install a rpm that needs the install
of another package first, the "strange" files appear. This typically
happens when i try to install perl for openpkg-tool and forget to install
gcc first.
Well, both machines with the problem where installed using
"openpkg-20030901-20030901.ix86-solaris8-opk.sh" (*1*). I created a current
"openpkg-20030904-20030904.ix86-solaris8-opk.sh" from the "*.src.sh" and
retried. It still happens.

When i remove the files and install in the right order, everything looks
ok. But as soon as i provoke the "Failed dependencies" error, the files
appear again.

(*1*) Would it be very difficult to create a new such bootstrap file when
openpkg is upgraded from a rpm ? But that is not that important.
