[yocto] opkg

[Phillip Warren]

Hi, I'm currently working on the pyro branch (2.3.4) and have a need
to support opkg list-upgradable; however, when I execute opkg
list-upgradable, I receive the following error:

Collected errors:
 * opkg_list_upgradable_cmd: list-upgradable command not available
with external solver enabled

The pyro opkg version is:
~# opkg --version
opkg version 0.3.4 (libsolv 0.6.26)

What is the simplest way to enable the list-upgradeable option for opkg?

1. Write a .bbappend to apply the patch to the 0.3.4 source that
enables this functionality? Where might I locate this patch?
2. Fast-forward opkg 0.3.4 to a newer version? What's the approved way
to do this within the yocto environment?

Thanks!
