    Hi Kazuhito,

    Could you specify which SW release you are using?

    My BeagleBone black(BBB) information is noted below,

    BBB Devian OS disk image is BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.

    root@beaglebone:/# uname -a

    Kazuhito,

    You are are using very old SW release which is not supported by this forum. Therefore I suggest you to migrate to the last Processor SDK Linux release:
    www.ti.com/.../processor-sdk-am335x
    Then you can use OPKG command. You can find some resources at:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Customization

    Hello, Tsvetolin Shulev

    Thanks for your advices.
    I have found the some facts that resolves these my issues.

    1)The opkg is supported on Linux distribution Angstrom.
    2)The opkg is not supported on Linux distribution Debian.
    3)Debian supports the OS package manager dpkg and the application package manager apt-get.
    4)My beaglebone black(BBB) OS distribution is certainly Debian that has surely the dpkg.
    The evidence for these is notes below

    root@beaglebone:/etc# cat issue
    Debian GNU/Linux 7 \n \l
    default username:password is [debian:temppwd]
    Support/FAQ: elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian
    The IP Address for usb0 is: 192.168.7.2

    5)The past BBB has been sold via Angstrom by TI till year 2013,
    but the latest BBB been via Debian from year 2014.
    Because of what the past BBB had been having a certain troubles
    that the opkg upgrade destroys BBB OS.
    6)Angstrom is not same distribution as Debian.

    My strange mystery has been determined at last.

    Thanks for your supports,.

    Best Regards
