nice catch. Used to work. Does vim still work?

you did an opkg update first?

I think I did an update first, but it's hard to remember.

Sort of seems to me that the first time one ever uses opkg, it should just do an update to begin with... I don't believe in causing it to be the user's bug...

opkg update kind of needs a working DNS, working time, and a working internet connection.

but your point is valid.

Have you tried to install vim, now, after doing the opkg update?

you have to do that all important opkg update first. There is no good time to do that that I can think of at the moment.

I'm going to just move this bug to the next release until I think of a better answer.
