[OpenWrt-Users] not all packages are listed in the database?

[Brian J. Murrell]

I'm kind of working around to doing some upgrades of my openwrt kamikaze
system to the trunk version.  I'm taking stock of what I already have on
my router and am noticing that there are files from packages which are
not listed in the ipkg database.  For example, I know I have uci
installed.  (Of course) It has to be installed.  I have an /sbin/uci.
However observe:

# ipkg list uci
Done.

Now certainly I understand that uci gets installed with the base "trx"
file that I installed on this router.  But that it's not accounted for
in the package database is a bit surprising (and disturbing).

I wonder how many other packages are in this state.

Thots?
