opkg-utils is a collection of bash and python scripts which require
additional commands/tools be available for the bash scripts. The full
list of dependencies that the opkg-util scripts require is:
bash
binutils
bzip2
coreutils
diffutils
findutils
grep
gzip
lz4
python3
sed
tar
xz
The Buildroot manual requires a few packages (bash, binutils, bzip2,
gzip, sed and tar) to be installed on the host system, so we need not
add those. Additionally, and even though they are not in that list,
that grep and find are also required (we already make extensive use of
both everywhere, so it is as good as them being in the list).
We have a host variant for coreutils, but only for systems that do not
already have a recent-enough one, i.e. that provides 'realpath' and
'ln --relative'. opkg-utils uses neither, so can rely on the ones on the
system.
Only add dependencies on the remaining host tools: diffutils, lz4, and
xz.
