+Subject: [opkg][opkg-0.4.4 PATCH] tests: let the OS negotiate relative package
+ dirs
+
+In cases where a regression test requires that a package be installed to
+a subdirectory in the test feed, the opk.py module will attempt to
+resolve the subdirectory and rebase it to the root of the test feed.
+
+This is unnecessary, since all operations which make use of the
+subdirectory path do so from the perspective of the test feed already.
+Further, the rebase implementation breaks in cases where the test feed
+is beyond a symlink.
+
+Remove the resolve-and-rebase logic, and allow the OS to negotiate the
+relative path.
