[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH][opkg-lede] libopkg: Fix segfault on trailing comma in deps

A "Depends" or other package relationship field with a trailing comma
(followed by zero or more whitespace characters) in any package feed
list will cause opkg after commit 98ce8c2 ("pkg: convert most other
struct members into dynamic blob buffer fields") to segfault.

In the case of a trailing comma, parseDepends() has always been called
with a string containing only the whitespace (if any) following the
comma, and previously a copy loop extracted the dependency package name
as an empty string.  Now, strtok() returns NULL as the package name,
which is passed through ensure_abstract_pkg_by_name(),
abstract_pkg_fetch_by_name(), hash_table_get(), hash_index(), and
finally djb2_hash() which dereferences the NULL pointer.
