In general, disabling installed-vs-shipped is not the right thing to do. What it's trying to tell you is that you've installed a file in do_install and then haven't packaged it in any package, which means it can never end up in the final image. FYI we've been putting together a section for the manual in the upcoming 1.7 release that attempts to explain each warning and what to do to resolve it; here is a preview: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-qa-checks If "fails later when it can't find a package file" means during do_rootfs, this is almost certainly because the package ended up empty and thus wasn't created (we don't create empty packages unless ALLOW_EMPTY for the package is set to "1", but generally the fix is to ensure the files you expect to be packaged into the package are actually packaged).
