8837 2015-12-17 22:03:51 +0000 Cannot load just-installed kernel module during opkg configure because depmod call is intercepted and deferred 2016-01-29 19:30:50 +0000 1 1 6 Yocto Project Subprojects opkg opkg 0.3.2 All Multiple RESOLVED FIXED Undecided major --- 1 will.page haris.okanovic --- --- Yes (doc changes required) oldest_to_newest 57367 0 will.page 2015-12-17 22:03:51 +0000 An opkg installs a kernel module, then postinst calls "depmod -a". The opkg intercept causes the depmod invocation to be deferred until later. Meanwhile, whether in this postinst or in a later one, attempts to load/use that kernel module fail because depmod hasn't run yet. Hypothetically, the same issue could occur with the ldconfig intercept. For example, if a package installs a library, then a later package wants to start a service that depends on that library. The service start request will occur immediately, meanwhile the ldconfig call won't happen until much later. 57389 1 alejandro.delcastillo 2015-12-18 16:37:03 +0000 opkg should have a config option to disable intercepts, for cases like this one. 58354 2 haris.okanovic 2016-01-29 19:30:50 +0000 Added intercepts_dir option to opkg.conf (commit 0991c27b), which can be used to disable postinst intercepts by setting to /dev/null.
