In offline-root mode on target device update the /usr/lib/opkg/status from installed to unpacked so opkg configure will run postinst

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We are updating a rootfs on our target system that is an alternate installation 
of our active rootfs.  We end up scanning the /usr/lib/info for changes files 
on the targeted rootfs (inactive) to run the opkg flags unpack.  When we boot 
to the inactive rootfs (install targeted rootfs), the S98configure will run the 
opkg configure, if we do not set the unpacked flag our postinst will not run.  
I would like this to be automatically done in opkg when doing an offline-root 
install.

Does the below patch produce the behaviour you want?

      all = pkg_vec_alloc();
