[build-deps] ERROR: libxml2-2.9.4-r0 do_package_qa: QA run found fatal errors. Please consider fixing them. ERROR: libxml2-2.9.4-r0 do_package_qa: Function failed: do_package_qa ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: /home/rojkov/work/refkit/build/tmp-glibc/work/corei7-64-refkit-linux/libxml2/2.9.4-r0/temp/log.do_package_qa.7742 ERROR: Task (/home/rojkov/work/refkit/openembedded-core/meta/recipes-core/libxml/libxml2_2.9.4.bb:do_package_qa) failed with exit code '1' Whereas the expcted result should be a successful build because libxml2-python is an empty package in this case. Also this bug is not reproducible if the package is configured with a .bbappend, that is if > PACKAGECONFIG_remove = "python" is put in a distro specific libxml2_%.bbappend. The problem seems to be in a way how variable values are expanded in the DataSmart class. In the function package_qa_check_rdepends() of insane.bbclass the variable localdata is a local copy of d. Ater calling localdata.setVar('OVERRIDES', 'libxml2-python') its method getVar() starts to return a whitespace (" ") for localdata.getVar('RDEPENDS') if libxml2-python is made an empty package with PACKAGECONFIG_remove = "python" in a bbappend But if libxml2-python is made an empty package with PACKAGECONFIG_remove_pn-libxml2 = "python" in a distro config then localdata.getVar('RDEPENDS') returns " python-core" and that breaks the 'build-deps' QA check because it thinks that libxml2-python actually exists even if it's empty. 73785 1 yau.wai.gan 2017-06-07 02:20:05 +0000 Fix implemented and merged.
