Description Paul Eggleton 2017-05-08 04:30:00 UTC 
Since recipe-specific sysroots were implemented, devtool add and devtool upgrade operations that fetch from a URL that requires native sysroot dependencies will fail to work as there is no recipe-specific sysroot set up for them during fetching. For example:

Comment 1 Paul Eggleton 2017-05-29 02:05:59 UTC 
Fix merged to master:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=415fbfb0cd1bc5129179596ba27ae2362b7de2a4

I have sent a backport to pyro as well.

Note: if a dependency such as xz-native has not been built previously then you will still get a failure, however that was always an issue even pre-RSS, and is covered separately by bug 11198.
