This means that echo -e in dash will actually print "-e" and interpret backslashes by default. http://www.mail-archive.com/yocto@yoctoproject.org/msg06000.html http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=550399 Now, in oe-core / yocto there are a couple of occurrences of "echo -e". Generally these are scripts with bash shebangs - so no problem here. But there are 4 classes which use this: buildhistory.bbclass package_rpm.bbclass package_deb.bbclass package_ipk.bbclass My solution would be to replace echo with print in these cases. 25457 1 andrei 2012-09-20 12:49:31 +0000 Fix merged to master. 26476 2 alexandrux.palalau 2012-10-10 11:44:12 +0000 Switching status to verified on the master branch.
