The only real way to solve this would be to separate out the build of update-alternatives from opkg-utils itself, much as we used to do from opkg: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=44b538eedab7c255051fa3375f9f2439cd2db3dd [dropped by Marcin back in 2008]. Torn on whether this is worth while or we just accept that lib32 builds build a bit more... 87388 4 gzatko 2020-06-02 12:19:12 +0000 I submitted a patch trying to solve the issue: https://patchwork.openembedded.org/series/24442/# However, I am afraid that I need a help with this one. I tried to generate dependency graphs: - update-alternatives has almost no deps at all - update-alternatives without bash dependency still does have quite a big bunch of them, with e.g. python3-native included - update-alternatives with bash dependency - I was not even able to display the graph by xdot... but a fast dep file check shows that e.g. python3 dependent tasks are still present there Any suggestions welcome. 96894 5 randy.macleod 2023-10-24 14:24:38 +0000 Bulk move from 4.99 or 0.00 to 5.99 103419 6 randy.macleod 2025-11-27 16:21:28 +0000 Robert, is this fixed? 103420 7 ross.burton 2025-11-27 16:23:46 +0000 My hunch is it is not. I have this in a local branch that I never got around to finishing/testing: https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky-contrib/commit/?h=ross/ua&id=ac03d59a0b6d30515159ab7f3dfe9f8c41474263 I can't recall if I didn't send it because it wasn't finished, or if it was just a bad time in the cycle to submit.
