I have the same exact problem

Ok I figured it out.  My wan interface was statically configured as was suggested in some install guides.  I set it to dhcp, rebooted and then ipkg worked.

nvram set wan_proto=dhcp
nvram commit
reboot

I believe then the wan interface will get it's dns setting from your cable/dsl modem.  You should also be a able to statically set it.

I also read somewhere else something about editing resolv.conf but I didn't try this.

If you wish to keep a static wan configuration, you add your ISP's dns servers separated by spaces in wan_dns

e.g : nvram set wan_dns="ip1 ip2 ip3" ...
