The [ -x /sbin/ldconfig ] returns non-zero, so the && never runs.. but the status is also never cleared. This leads to an install failure. My suggestion is to replace the line with: if [ -x /sbin/ldconfig ]; then /sbin/ldconfig ; fi 24478 1 liezhi.yang 2012-08-27 03:41:28 +0000 This one had already been fixed by Amy Fong: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=b1c2b57b3eaf1d96985b60746555fd4d69bbed1c 24772 2 liang.li2 2012-09-04 01:50:42 +0000 verified.
