Interesting...

Which version of opkg are you using? do you have the libsolv backend
enabled? running opkg --version should tell you the opkg version and the
libsolv version, if the backend is enabled.

Also, could you send a verbose log of the installation? opkg install -V4
<pkg_name>. While you are at it, it would be helpful to attach your
/var/lib/opkg/status file too.
