The target opkg.conf file configure lists_dir to be at /var/lib/opkg (instead of the default /var/lib/opkg/lists), so the feed content under /var/lib/opkg/lists is not used at all. Commit d950ef40a3eae4b54cc62828e66d84a62d78c447 removed: rm -f ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}${OPKGLIBDIR}/opkg/lists/* step which was not implemented on rootfs.py. 51656 1 alejandro.hernandez 2015-06-11 21:46:05 +0000 I am not able to reproduce this, /var/lib/opkg/lists does in fact exist, but it seems to be empty in my builds, is there anything else on your configuration that might be affecting this? 52262 2 alejandro.delcastillo 2015-07-09 20:40:06 +0000 You are right, the folder is incorrectly left-over, but it is empty (I must have been running another test, which filled it). From what I can tell, opkg default lists_dir folder is /var/lib/opkg/lists, which is created during opkg update if it doesn't exists. If the conf file /etc/opkg/opkg.conf doesn't have a lists_dir entry, then it goes with the default. I think that's what happens during the offline root image creation. The inconsistency comes from the fact that the opkg-collateral recipes defaults lists_dir to /var/lib/opkg: echo "lists_dir ext ${OPKGLIBDIR}/opkg" >>${WORKDIR}/opkg.conf 52319 3 sjolley.yp.pm 2015-07-13 20:04:03 +0000 It appears the NEEDINFO has been completed.

In any way, inconsistencies should be resolved by using the same lists directory which will end up being "/var/lib/opkg/lists", sending patch to list. 52789 6 alejandro.hernandez 2015-08-03 15:56:16 +0000 Fixed: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=e87b533b2f773ac00bf0acf2ba44c5c98235a383 55496 7 bogdanx.a.voiculescu 2015-10-20 13:12:36 +0000 Verified on master e35c404537db0b46047fcb2ee7d3645e3e0935c5 Directory is updated after: opkg update with correct information.
