IIRC ipkg isn't able to do this. The only thing ipkg is able to do is to
successfully resolve the "provides" after you have installed a package.
I mean: if package foo provides bar, and another package "XX" depends on bar, if you
install foo you will be able to instal "XX" without other needing.

Changing this behavior wouldn't be easy at the moment. Sorry.
