A new Flyspray task has been opened.  Details are below.

Summary - opkg installs unexpected packages depending on order of to-be-installed packages
Task Type - Bug Report
Category - Base system
Status - Unconfirmed
Assigned To - 
Operating System - All
Severity - Low
Priority - Very Low
Reported Version - Trunk

Details - I noticed this on a freshly installed 19.07.6 on a TP-Link WDR4900.

When installing the packages "batctl-full kmod-batman-adv" the order seems to matter.

For example,
opkg install batctl-full kmod-batman-adv

results in the following packages being installed
kmod-crypto-hash
kmod-lib-crc16
kmod-crypto-crc32c
kmod-lib-crc32c
librt
batctl-full
kmod-batman-adv

But as a counter-example (reversing the order),
opkg install kmod-batman-adv batctl-full

results in the following packages being installed
kmod-crypto-hash
kmod-lib-crc16
kmod-crypto-crc32c
kmod-lib-crc32c
librt
batctl-full
kmod-batman-adv
batctl-tiny

In this case both batctl-full and batctl-tiny get installed.

Just for clarity, here are the results of a few other related commands.

root at OpenWrt:~# opkg whatprovides -A batctl
What provides batctl
    batctl-full
    batctl-default
    batctl-tiny
root at OpenWrt:~# opkg whatdepends -A batctl
Root set:
  batctl-full
  batctl-default
  batctl-tiny
What depends on root set
	kmod-batman-adv 4.14.215+2019.2-10	depends on batctl


I feel like this is not working as expected.  Since batctl-full is explicitly listed on the command line, one would expect that the dependency on "batctl" should be met and as a result batctl-tiny is not needed.
