FS#120 - opkg fails with Out of memory on a device with 32 MB of RAM
User who did this - Rod Egan (Greybeard)

----------
Using the 17.01.0 built code on a tplink wr842n v1 (32M ram) and a wr842m v3 (64M ram)
LEDE Reboot 17.01.0 r3205-59508e3 / LuCI lede-17.01 branch (git-17.051.53299-a100738)

without the opkg update from Jo-Phillip above, ie unpatched code, opkg fails on v1 device 32M ram, works ok on 64M ram device. So the issue is still present in the 17.01 build.
