Well opkg-make-index is in the path.

Something strange is happening here.
If I edit package-index.bb and add a call to opkg-make-index

    do_package_index() {
         set -ex
    opkg-make-index   ### ADDED CODE
         ${PACKAGEINDEXES}
         set +ex
    }


it shows an error message when invoking bitbake package-index showing 
that opkg-make-index is actualy working...

    ///

Any idea?
