I just hope that this CURRENT package is even scheduled for release. As you see from http://www.openpkg.org/releng.html, there is a logic behind the OpenPKG category distribution system. Only CORE, BASE, and PLUS class packages are distributed in a release, as denoted by the 'RSP' label in the graph.
That means that if the package you wish to install is not in any release distribution but you find it in CURRENT, it will be released in the next version only if it says 'Distribution: OpenPKG [BASE]' in the spec file (or use the 'rpm -q --qf...' methods as shown on the releng.html page. I hope this clears up some confusion and helps you avoid waiting for a package that never arrives. Remember that in most cases you can install a CURRENT package in a RELEASE instance.
