for what it's worth, if you're building an image that's a variation of a "core" image, an alternate way of adding packages after the fact is: CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL = "sysfsutils strace bash" i just tested it and, when i added a new entry in that list, at least the fetching understood and fetched that new source and patched it. so it doesn't solve the original problem with IMAGE_INSTALL_append, but feel free to see if that variation works for you. again, it's only valid if you're building a core image or some variation thereof. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
