- "opkg list" does only list *installed* packages, not *available* packages:
root at OpenWrt:~# opkg list-installed | wc -l; opkg list | wc -l
110
110
root at OpenWrt:~# 
root at OpenWrt:~# opkg -A list | wc -l
110
root at OpenWrt:~# opkg list -A | wc -l
110
root at OpenWrt:~# 

- "opkg find" doesn't find anything:
root at OpenWrt:~# opkg find .
root at OpenWrt:~# opkg find /
root at OpenWrt:~# opkg find a
root at OpenWrt:~# opkg find '.*'
root at OpenWrt:~# 

am I wrong?
