The error is saying that there is a mismatch between the registered package mds5sum and the actual md5sum of the package. On your log.do_rootfs log file you should find the opkg-cl command being called, which has an opkg.conf file as parameter. Inside the conf file, you will see the paths to the local repos being used to build your image.  Can you confirm that the registered md5sum for one of the problematic packages on the Package file on the repo doesn't match the actual package md5sum?
