Hannu, 

below the "v2 logs" of opkg.
>From your logs it seems that your opkg is aware of the complete package-list. 
you seem to have ran "opkg update". 
My finding is based on a "blank" unit without package-cache
* rebooting the board
* scp-ing the package to /tmp
* then login
* calling opkg install 

The workflow is based on the situation, where the board has no internet-access 
and I can only login via IPv6-link-local, to install a missing package.

example: jupp-data (from the freshly "firstboot"-ed WDR3600)

Collected errors:

but incompatible with the architectures configured
