So how can it be fixed. Probably I have to use some previous version without 
this bug or to install opkg some different way or something else... Thank you 
ahead...

This usage of opkg_install_package should work with opkg built from git master. 
It hasn't worked in any v0.2.x release or earlier to my knowledge.

A call to opkg_prepare_url_for_install was added before the call to 
pkg_hash_fetch_installed_by_name, which allows the function to handle a file 
name or URI as well as a package name.

The libopkg API is deprecated and libopkg_test has been removed from git master 
though.

If you want to use a file name or URI with opkg_install_package in opkg-0.2.x, 
the relevant commit to backport is 6954434:

Currently there is much duplicate code between libopkg/opkg.c and 
libopkg/opkg_cmd.c. Each operation has two entry points (eg. 
opkg_install_package and opkg_install_cmd) which don't share code. Those 
functions differ slightly and each have their quirks so it's not possible to 
just have opkg_install_cmd call opkg_install_package.

The split between opkg and libopkg is terrible as well, much of the command 
line handling is in libopkg/opkg_cmd.c and is built into the library.

Therefore the current API has been deprecated. After the v0.3 release, the 
split between opkg and libopkg will be cleaned up, with a new and improved API 
being defined. That API won't match the previous API though.
