While removing a package with opkg, the process shouldn't be blocked if another package RECOMMENDS the package wanted to be removed. This is because, while generating the dependencies, opkg adds dependencies to depended_upon_by even if dependency's type is RECOMMEND. The fix is to skip dependencies of type RECOMMEND while constructing depended_upon_by.
