A change to the lists_dir syntax isn't included in the patches I've got prepared. Perhaps you could send a patch to change this after I've updated the opkg recipe to v0.2.3? > Changing the lists_dir with 0.2.1 did not work for me.

We could propose merging opkg-collateral.bb and opkg-config-base_1.0.bb into the main opkg recipe, it could simplify things a little.
