It's the oe-core initscripts recipe that clashes with base-files-emperor. Both recipies have their own /etc/init.d/halt script. The full rebuild failed as well, with the error "Can't install ntp-4.2.8p8-r0.7@armv7a_vfp_neon: no package provides initscripts-functions" And that's probably because the oe-core recipe produces a initscripts-functions package. We stil need that package in our image. I assume that due to using PROVIDES, the oe-core initscripts recipe is replaced completely with our own base-files-emperor recipe. And since our custom package doesn't produce an initscripts-functions package (because we still want the one from the oe-core initscripts), the build fails. So it looks like using PROVIDES doesn't work. Alex Disclaimer This e-mail and its attachments is intended only for the person(s) or entity to which it is addressed.
