I thought it was failing before you re-created /opt. Probably I
misunderstood the situation.

You can read this thread:

The error explained there is the same as yours.

I resolved it by removing /opt from rootstraps.
Here is what I have in my target:
[sbox-maemo5-arm: ~] > ls -la / | grep opt
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   18 Oct 22 09:22 opt -> /targets/links/opt

[sbox-maemo5-arm: ~] > ls -la /targets/maemo5-arm/ |grep opt
drwxrwxr-x   2 ed ed 4096 Oct 26 16:19 opt

And I'm able to install optified packages into this target:
[sbox-maemo5-arm: ~] > fakeroot apt-get install clucene-core
