I investigated this and found oe-core commit
ffe93e2a099e4cadb1829dc12a58a6d7bef9a5a7 for opkg-collateral. Besides
changing the configuration location it changes

-lists_dir ext /var/lib/ipkg
+lists_dir ext /var/lib/opkg

The patch attached for meta-angstrom fixes the pango-postinst issue
but I am not quite sure if this is a good solution, because it
reinvents parts of opkg-collateral. Why does angstrom replace
opkg-collateral? Wouldn't it be a better solution to append
opkg-collateral with angstrom feeds packages?
