These two packages cannot be installed on the same system. There are
two possibilities for fixing this: either don't included both packages
in the same image or remove the file from one of the packages.

For whatever reason, the task-base-extended ipk cannot be found in
your package repository. There are many reasons why this may occur and
I will not speculate upon it.

The libdbd-sqlite-perl and libdbix-simple-perl ipks cannot be found in
your repository.

Two packages both provide the same config file. This should really
error out, but its only a warning at the moment because it would cause
too many breakages (the message printing is deferred until the end of
opkg's processing, like an error).

I suggest you start with a much smaller image and add to it
incrementally. That way, if/when you encounter problems, it is much
easier to narrow down which recipe or recipe dependency is causing
problems. Building a dependency graph with bitbake -g may help narrow
down some problems.

PS: I appreciate that opkg error messages can be a little cryptic.
Patches welcome!
