Hi Robert,

I did pick these commits.

Thank you very much for your great patience.


We have some different errors now.

I'm a bit surprise by tr errors here, as it looks a bit unrelated. There
is a small probability it's related to something else in my branch, but
this series is clearly the best candidate. I will keep you updated if it
finally looks related to something else.

I also got some more traditional "nothing provides" errors:

For the above two errors, it is because the sstate cache had been polluted. I
moved pkgconfig-native from do_package to do_package_write_rpm, the
do_package_write_rpm still can be mirrored from the old (but bad) sstate-cache.
It woudl work when the old sstate cache are invalid. So I've sent a
gettext update patch:

[OE-core] [PATCH 0/1] gettext: 0.26 -> 1.0

It would make nearly all the sstate cache invalid, and re-built from sources,
then this should be fixed.

What I'm worried about is that gettext is very basic package, I hope it won't
cause more troubles. I've done world build on qemux86-64 and qemuarm64.

Other reipes' upgrading may also can make the sstate cache invalid.

Hi Robert,

I ran a build, not with your gettext patch, but with the one from the
glibc upgrade by Hemanth. We still had similar errors.

Any opinion?

It seems that now the failed ones are related to 'tr ', at least, the pkgconfig issues are gone.

I will look into it, sorry about that.

It is failed to build with systemd, the rpm's sysuser creation doesn't work with
cross build, and we don't need rpm to create the users since we have
useradd.bbclass. The fix is:

diff --git a/meta/classes-global/package_rpm.bbclass b/meta/classes-global/package_rpm.bbclass

I will send a V8 after more testing.
