However in product images packagegroup-core-ssh-dropbear dependency can be hidden by core-image class and it's not so obvious why openssh is pulled in into the image and why it fails only with ptest 93659 2 pavel 2022-07-11 20:45:46 +0000 core-image-weston brings ssh-server-dropbear feature too. 93674 3 pavel 2022-07-14 15:00:00 +0000 To summarize the issue. Easiest way to reproduce the bug: EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES:append = " ptest-pkgs " IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " packagegroup-core-ssh-dropbear " If IMAGE_FEATURES contains "ptest-pkgs" it triggers installation of complementary packages (meta/lib/oe/package_manager/__init.py__:install_complementary) with "*-ptest" glob for every installed package (including openssh-sftp-server which is recommended by packagegroup-core-ssh-dropbear). as the result [1] is called which returns openssh-ptest. Openssh-ptest depends on openssh (via openssh-misc) which causes the conflict with dropbear. PACKAGE_EXCLUDE_COMPLEMENTARY = "openssh" "fixes" this issue and can be used as a workaround however it may break some use cases when -dbg -dev -ptest or other COMPLEMENTARY_GLOB packages has to be installed but will be filtered out.

I think we should set that somewhere in OE-Core by default, the next question would be where. It really needs to be somewhere in one of the image classes... 93946 5 pavel 2022-09-01 08:39:55 +0000 https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/170000 94020 6 richard.purdie 2022-09-09 16:33:48 +0000 https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?id=912b35e6e6df1e904cf9f4296d242a07943cf7b3
