Yes, the OpenPKG bootstrap has some packages embedded which provide
basic facilities for the OpenPKG environment, i.e. bash, and some are
required to build the bootstrap itself. These packages are manually kept
in synch with their respective vendor versions. New vendor versions
might introduce incompatiblities which are out of our control. Here is
an overview of the embedded vendor packages and their versions. The
difference between 20040609 and OpenPKG 2.1 will be negligible. Note
that rpm 4.2.1 comes with a embedded db, beecrypt replaced the previous
external requirement to gnupg for package signature verification and
uuid was introduced in 2.0
V_openpkg 1.3.0 2.0.0 20040609
V_rpm 4.0.2 4.2.1 4.2.1
V_zlib 1.1.4 1.2.1 1.2.1
V_bzip2 1.0.2 1.0.2 1.0.2
V_db 3.2.9 - -
V_beecrypt - 3.1.0 3.1.0
V_curl 7.10.6 7.11.0 7.12.0
V_make 3.80 3.80 3.80
V_gzip 1.3.5 1.3.5 1.3.5
V_patch 2.5.4 2.5.9 2.5.9
V_tar 1.13.25 1.13.25 1.14
V_bash 2.05b 2.05b 2.05b
V_uuid - 1.0.0 1.0.0

This was correct for CURRENT as of OpenPKG 2.0, it is still correct
today and I would bet it will be still true for CURRENT as of OpenPKG
2.1. I won't predict the more remote future.
According to my personal research and experience the existing
bootstrap must run OpenPKG 1.3 or CURRENT between openpkg-20030802 and
openpkg-20030820. The very next openpkg-20030826 introduced the new
rpm 4.2.1 so the database would have already been converted then. The
modified update bootstrap must be OpenPKG 1.9, 2.0 or CURRENT between
openpkg-20040130 and today which can be assumed "is-as" OpenPKG 2.1.
Again, I cannot be foresee how far this window expands into the future.
