[OE-core] [PATCH] opkg-utils: Change alternatives lib path from /usr/lib/opkg to /var/lib/opkg

[Martin Jansa]

Please use the same variable with weak assignment like opkg recipes (so
that it can be easily changed from distro config).

This also breaks all upgrade paths, is it acceptable? In oe-classic days
I've created postinst script which were migrating existing
update-alternatives in the rootfs when update-alternatives-cworth was
upgraded with different path.
