After this change http://cgit.openembedded.net/cgit.cgi/openembedded/commit/?id=9b641bbfed07c075ae5cbe84082a85f1ba703447
most distributions use opkg-native as u-a provider for building their images, but I haven't noticed that update-alternatives-cworth use alternatives from /usr/lib/ipkg/alternatives opkg use /usr/lib/opkg/alternatives So image prepared with opkg-native cannot ship with update-alternatives-cworth installed, but it does, because task-boot DEPENDS on "update-alternatives" which could be fixed with DISTRO_UPDATE_ALTERNATIVES and using DISTRO_UPDATE_ALTERNATIVES for PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/update-alternatives PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/update-alternatives-native and here in task-boot. But this won't fix already installed/built images :/. How to fix this properly? I guess that right combination of RCONFLICTS and good postinst scipt can fix that.. but its quite difficult to test it and it can break things even more :/. Please advise.. Sort of nasty workaround now is opkg remove update-alternatives-cworth opkg reinstall busybox Here is info I just sent to SHR mailing list In last opkg upgrade there is bump to busybox package, which triggers old bug in our images :(. There are 2 scripts providing update-alternatives in our images, one is part of opkg itself installed in /usr/bin/update-alternatives (it was added to opkg later) and older update-alternatives-cworth installed in /usr/sbin/update-alternatives and used by default But with busybox upgrade all symlinks are updated with knowledge only from /usr/lib/ipkg/alternatives because of that -cworth which shouldn't be part of image! (I'll push -cworth blacklist to our shr.conf but its too late for those who upgraded busybox yesterday). Hopefully working work-around (haven't tested because I'm at work) opkg remove update-alternatives-cworth opkg reinstall busybox Please also check diff -rq /usr/lib/opkg/alternatives /usr/lib/ipkg/alternatives if there is some major difference, if yes reinstall packages where the alternatives provided by them are different in those 2 dirs. -- uin:136542059 jid:[email protected] Jansa Martin sip:[email protected] JaMa _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
