I'm using opkg (IPK) packaging with my Yocto builds (using recent master 633ad6c9f). For the most part, this seems to work well, but occasionally I'll rebuild a recipe along with the packaging indexes on my build machine only to find that opkg doesn't want to upgrade to the changes. Here's an example:
* Update the package databases on the target board root@teton-p7621:~# opkg update Downloading http://192.168.1.12/teton-p7621-feeds/all/Packages.gz. Updated source 'poky_am-all'. Downloading http://192.168.1.12/teton-p7621-feeds/cortexa7hf-neon/Packages.gz. Updated source 'poky_am-cortexa7hf-neon'. Downloading http://192.168.1.12/teton-p7621-feeds/teton_p7621/Packages.gz. Updated source 'poky_am-teton_p7621'. * Try to update the package I just rebuilt. Normally, this does the right thing root@teton-p7621:~# opkg install production-tests No packages installed or removed. * Odd, check the packaging root@teton-p7621:~# opkg list-installed | grep prod production-tests - 1.0-r0.74 * Force the install by removing the existing package, etc root@teton-p7621:~# opkg remove production-tests Removing production-tests (1.0) from root... root@teton-p7621:~# opkg install production-tests Installing production-tests (1.0) on root Downloading http://192.168.1.12/teton-p7621-feeds/teton_p7621/production-tests_1.0-r0.76_teton_p7621.ipk. Configuring production-tests. So from this you can see that the package has been rebuilt (using the PR server) and that I can indeed install the new version. That said, why did opkg not "upgrade" as expected. Note: I often use the 'opkg upgrade' command but I recently updated my Poky/Yocto repository which caused nearly every package to be rebuilt and I didn't want to have to download everything (none of which affected my current program which is just a python script), so I chose the 'opkg install ...' method instead, which does seem to work sometimes. Any ideas what I can look at or tweak to get this to work the way I expect?
