following up on an earlier post of mine, i am still baffled as to
why i can't activate the oldpackages feed on my system. i'm running
64-bit fedora rawhide, and here's the symptom.

  i started with an absolutely new git clone of openwrt:

  $ git clone git://git.openwrt.org/openwrt.git git

went into that directory, changed nothing (so oldpackages was *not*
activated in feeds.conf.default), and ran:

  $ ./scripts/feeds update -a

which worked fine. i then edited feeds.conf.default, and ran that
command again, to get:

... snip ...

Updating feed 'oldpackages' from 'http://git.openwrt.org/packages.git' ...
Already up-to-date.
Create index file './feeds/oldpackages.index'
grep: feeds/oldpackages/Binary: No such file or directory
grep: file: No such file or directory
grep: matches/Makefile: No such file or directory
gmake: *** No rule to make target 'feeds/oldpackages/Binary', needed by
'/home/rpjday/openwrt/t/git/feeds/oldpackages.tmp/info/.packageinfo-Binary'.
Stop.

  i've tried this several times on this linux laptop and i get the
same result each time, but i didn't used to. and if i try it on a
different linux development system at work, it works fine. and as i
mentioned in my earlier post, i showed this to a colleague who also
tried, and *also* got this error, but only on his personal laptop, and
not on a development system.

  thoughts? might i have set some unlucky environment variable that
just happens to be clashing with an openwrt variable?
