And your rootfs is built with opkg-native instead of ipkg-native.

Few things:

1. There is no such thing as 'opkg-utils' - we still use ipkg-utils-native
   for creating packages.

2. You missed image.bbclass change:

--- a/trunk/meta/classes/image.bbclass
+++ b/trunk/meta/classes/image.bbclass
@@ -85,8 +85,6 @@ fakeroot do_rootfs () {
 
 	insert_feed_uris	
 
-	rm -f ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}${libdir}/ipkg/lists/*
-	
 	${IMAGE_PREPROCESS_COMMAND}
 		
 	export TOPDIR=${TOPDIR}

3. Meta/meta-toolchain.bb recipe also use ipkg and this also was changed
   in Poky.

4. You did not set SRCREV for opkg-sdk recipe.
