Yeah, I think that the changes in last November(?) caused several different 
errors to be grouped under that error message.

It still works for me. Below is log of installing a local jupp-data.ipk, 
which causes quite properly the jupp.ipk to be downloaded.

Note that both packages are from the packages download repo. I imagined that 
there might be some corner cases where the missing package is from the 
.../target/... packages repo, and would have been built by the phase1 
buildbot (like librt actually is). So I test also with protobuf, which pulls 
libatomic from .../target/... and even that dowloads properly and succeeds.

Can you please show more details about your error, with opkg more verbose (V2 
or V3). So that we could see, what actually fails for you.
