I've done a bit of reading, but yet I'm a little confused when it comes to the proper Package Installer to use on my DDWRT build.

Hardware: Asus RT-N16
Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (05/24/13) kingkong

The thing started when I wanted to use nmap, and it kept complaining that I had no route to an internal host, to which i could ping and reach without issue outside of nmap... So I went to try and update my nmap version.. I tryed both ipkg-opt and opkg, to which I noticed both were pointing to different repos...

root@DD-WRT:~# opkg update

When I installed nmap using opkg it seemed to install a slightly newer version but not the latest, I was expecting 6.x.x and after installing it failed to work, such as so..

root@DD-WRT:~# opkg install nmap

which installed nmap under a dir that is not in roots PATH, so i tryed directly..

root@DD-WRT:~# /opt/usr/bin/nmap
/opt/usr/bin/nmap: can't resolve symbol '__newlocale'

so I went back to using the ipkg-opt version but that just hangs or can't find a route...

SOOO first question, which Packager Installer should one being using opkg or ipkg-opt??

Second, how does one manage the repositories to stay and get the most current build of distributed services?

bump? Even some basic info would be nice, like if my repos are still current or if i should change them. Maybe someone with more knowledge could confirm if im running OTRW or OTRW2... I think im still one the old one... thoughts?
