Having played around with this for another while it seems like
classes/rootfs_ipk should be patched as follows:

--- rootfs_ipk.bbclass-orig     2007-04-20 14:13:53.534848585 +0200
+++ rootfs_ipk.bbclass  2007-04-20 14:10:43.406456119 +0200
@@ -9,6 +9,7 @@

 IPKG_ARGS = "-f ${T}/ipkg.conf -o ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}"

+DEPENDS += "ipkg-native"
 RDEPENDS += "ipkg ipkg-collateral"
 PACKAGE_INSTALL += "ipkg ipkg-collateral"


How about this? I would tend to believe that rootfs_deb
may need something similar...

Cheers,

Martin
