Currently sdk generation might fail with the following error:

This happens as consolekit package will include both
/var/log/ConsoleKit and /var/volatile/log/ConsoleKit files:
lumag@fangorn:~/OE-scripts$ dpkg-deb -c

Inclusion of both log directories causes this error. Drop the
/var/log/ConsoleKit in favour of /var/volatile/log
Hi Dmitry,
Could you please explain how and where the extract_archive error is caused?
Where is /var/log linked to /var/volatile/log?

I have tried building meta-toolchain-qte... and I got exactly the error
from my original message.


Do you mean RP's patch "consolekit: Fix ${localstatedir} race" didn't fix the 
issue?
(I suspect so)

Yes, I still had the issues even after PR's patch.


This effectively reverts:
http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=5608a748
af2c754f60137ab7c3010ccce6bf9e40 so I think this fixes one problem at
the expense of causing another. Koen: Any comments?

Thanks,

I believe this is an installation ordering problem in opkg. If you apply
my opkg patch (and the nativesdk one I just posted), I don't see this
problem with meta-toolchain-gmae.

I still see one problem. Without my patch I have both
/var/volatile/log/ConsoleKit and /var/log/ConsoleKit in consolekit
package. Won't that cause troubles?

No, that wasn't the problem opkg was reporting. The problem opkg was
reporting was that base-files hadn't installed first and its responsible
for setting up the var symlinks.

That is not the problem that was reported by opkg. That is what I saw in the built package - /var/volatile/log/ConsoleKit and /var/log/ConsoleKit.

BTW, Koen. I've just built a consolekit package in Angstrom environment
with my patch applied and here is the interesting part:
lumag@fangorn:~/OE-scripts$ dpkg-deb -c build/tmp-angstrom-eglibc/deploy/ipk/armv5te/consolekit_0.4.5-r8_armv5te.ipk | grep var
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2011-12-16 21:32 ./var/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2011-12-16 21:32 ./var/run/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2011-12-16 21:32 ./var/run/ConsoleKit/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2011-12-16 21:32 ./var/log/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2011-12-16 21:32 ./var/log/ConsoleKit/

So the package does include the /var/log/ConsoleKit even without explicit note on it. Could you please recheck your environment and try building/checking consolekit package with my patch applied?
