[Shr-Devel] READ THIS if you upgraded opkg/busybox in last 8 days

[Rui Miguel Silva Seabra]

Upgraded yesterday and the Freerunner booted into SHR-u.

However, ipkg was a dir of it's own, so I did the link.

However, alternatives has 215 files (rather a lot more than
alternatives-backup).

However, my init has the sysvinit and busybox lines in reverse order
than you show there.

root at om-gta02 /usr/lib $ opkg list_installed | grep opkg
libopkg0 - 0.1.6+svnr522-r19.4
opkg - 0.1.6+svnr522-r19.4
opkg-collateral - 1.0-r2.4
