Options:

        -dest <dest_name>       package installation, removal, upgrading.
                                <dest_name> should be a defined dest name from the
                                configuration file, (but can also be a directory
                                name in a pinch).
        -o <offline_root>       Use <offline_root> as the root for offline installation.

Force Options (use when ipkg is too smart for its own good):
        -force-depends          Make dependency checks warnings instead of errors
        -force-defaults         Use default options for questions asked by ipkg.
                                (no prompts). Note that this will not prevent
                                package installation scripts from prompting.
