[OE-core] Not selecting <old version of package> as installing it would break existing dependencies

After upgrading a library to a newer version, for example, something
called libdvbsi++ from 0.3.6 to 0.3.7, running opkg upgrade outputs the
following cryptic error message:
Not selecting libdvbsi++1 0.3.6 as installing it would break existing
dependencies.
Adding "-V2" to opkg upgrade expands that with the following message:
opkg_prepare_upgrade_pkg: Package libdvbsi++1 (0.3.7-r2.0) installed in
root is up to date.
So apparently it knows about the later version, so why complain about
the old one?
There is only one package that (r)depends on that lib (enigma2). Nothing
else needs it.
This often happens with other packages as well. Is this a bug in opkg,
or is it trying to tell us we're doing something wrong?
