[OE-core] BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS with opkg and multiple architectures

[Stefan Agner]

Just verified the issue again, building a machine with architecture
armv7at2hf-vfp and one with armv7at2hf-vfp-neon in a row. The second
machine gets  the package installed despite the correct status file:

Description: Tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities in a single
small executable
 BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a
 single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most
of
 the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The
 utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-
 featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide
the
 expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU
counterparts.
 BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small or
 embedded system.

Interesting though, that the status file in the end contains the package
with the right architecture and status ("Status: deinstall hold
not-installed")... 

But opkg installs the package happily:

=> log.do_rootfs
