When you say "update opkg lists", are you talking about the /usr/lib/opkg/status file or something else?

Because it seems to me that that's what's lingering that might be damaged.  Is there a way to update "opkg" itself and resynthesize this file?  Or a script I can run to recreate it from scratch?

Thanks,
