I can confirm the bug in a similar situation. I created a package A, and
package B. In newer versions of package B it integrates the function of A, so A
is no longer needed and B now has the 'replace A' property.
Steps
1. Install A. Install B
2. Upgrade B to new version, which 'replaces: A'
Expected result:
A is removed during B upgrade
Actual Result:
Both A and new version of B are installed.

I've finally got round to looking at this and have confirmed both the original
issue and the issue described in comment #2 are both still present.
Does anyone want to turn the attached diff into a git patch which I can apply
to the current git master, give it a test and then send it to the mailing list?

Sorry, that doesn't seem to fix the problem, I'm still left with the replaced
package and the replacement both installed during tests.
Your check of replacee->state_status seems incomplete, at the very least we
also want to replace packages with a status of SS_UNPACKED (as they are during
testing as I'm using an offline root) and probably some of the other statuses
as well.
The patch is also missing a "Signed-off-by" line and could do with a short
summary line "opkg_install: Replace virtual packages correctly" and a longer
description of why this change is needed in the message body. That way we still
have the information if this bug tracker ever disappears.
Patches are better sent to the mailing list but I'm happy to accept them on
here if you can't send them to the mailing list for some reason.
Full guidelines for submitting patches is in the file CONTRIBUTING
(http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/opkg/tree/CONTRIBUTING).
Thanks for the contribution though, it'll be good to tidy this up and get this
bug fixed!

This issue is now fixed in master. The issue described in comment #2 has been
split out to become issue 136.
Many thanks to Carl Cospel for tidying up the patch for this.
