Hi Jörg, Thanks for your patch. It looks like this is failing to build with poky-altcfg on various recipes: ERROR: tcf-agent-1.11.0-r0 do_package: QA Issue: tcf-agent: Files/directories were installed but not shipped in any package: /usr/sbin/tcf-client /usr/sbin/tcf-agent ... ERROR: bootchart2-0.14.9-r0 do_package: QA Issue: bootchart2: Files/directories were installed but not shipped in any package: /usr/sbin /usr/sbin/bootchartd https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/25/builds/4214 https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/65/builds/4176 https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/95/builds/4146 https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/22/builds/4215 Can you have a look at the issue?
