Because mtools has no RDEPENDS for glibc-gconv-ibm850, many commands would run to fail.

Adding eglibc-gconv-ibm850 to RDEPENDS fixed it. 27136 2 xin.ouyang 2012-11-01 06:59:09 +0000 Fixed. http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/meta/recipes-devtools/mtools?id=268ea5544d204ca35d7709104382bad16705434b 27377 3 yi.zhao 2012-11-13 02:36:05 +0000 Verified with 1.3 danny branch. gitinfo: 27af23e65f63b41962a7cfddba9e9372d5212396
