When using update-alternatives feature to rename targets to target.${BPN} it happens in perform_packagecopy, but for recipes where that target is also staged to sysroot it's too late, both recipes will try to install the same target file to sysroot.One way to resolve this is to rename target to target.${BPN} directly in recipe's do_install, but can we move this automatic renaming to do_install? More importantly do we have some examples where we need to run u-a for files in sysroot (e.g. when unpacking archive from sstate-cache)?
It was specifically NOT done via a do_install(_append) because other things could have been appending and doing odd behaviors that may or may not be supported.
Also as far as the sysroot went, all of the files that collided were executables, man pages, etc... (not libraries or headers!) so they generally are not used during the compilation process, but I can see with the additional sysroot checking that this can add problems.
Perhaps the right fix is to add an additional task before the do_package (where the sysroot is setup) but after the do_install that is specific to the update-alternatives configuration? Change from doing it in the ${D} directory as well...
