This means if the build dir is different from the build dir that was used to generate the sstate, the useradd command will fail. One place this happens is "$bitbake <image> -c populate_sdk_ext" . This tries to do a groupadd for dbus and fails. This bug is being opened by me for tracking/discussion, there is a patch already available that seems to fix it in my testing, from Peter Kjellerstedt . His patch is https://patchwork.openembedded.org/series/6598/ . His comments on the patch cover letter: Similar to the problem with the hosttools directory and the state cache that was recently fixed, there is another problem with the sysroots-components directory. This only affects postinst-useradd scripts, so in this case the fix can be activated from useradd.bbclass rather than sstate.bbclass and thus affects a lot less recipes. 73172 1 jose.perez.carranza 2017-05-10 17:35:34 +0000 Bug 11497 created to add a test case for this scenario 73179 2 brian.avery 2017-05-10 20:13:28 +0000 duplicate of Bug 11460 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 11460 ***
