Comment 2 Paul Eggleton 2018-05-06 20:43:10 UTC 
Has SSTATE_MIRRORS been configured and libxml2 built there in order to make it  available to install?
Comment 3 nagarajagopal 2018-05-07 03:16:08 UTC 
SSTATE_MIRRORS is configures as below in conf/local.conf ,

SSTATE_MIRRORS += " file://universal/(.*) file://universal-4.9/\1 file://universal-4.9/(.*) file://universal-4.8/\1"

SSTATE_MIRRORS += '\
file://.* http://sstate.yoctoproject.org/dev//PATH;downloadfilename=PATH'
Comment 4 Paul Eggleton 2018-05-07 14:10:18 UTC 
Does that SSTATE_MIRRORS setting (particularly the second one) appear in conf/local.conf within the installed eSDK?
Comment 5 nagarajagopal 2018-05-07 18:00:15 UTC 
 SSTATE_MIRRORS setting is appeared in conf/local.conf within the installed eSDK.

ERROR: Failed to install libxml2 - unavailable

My understanding was that the above was not a defect, when the libxml2 was not available in pre-built form from SDK provider, this is the error message.

In this case, we can request the devtool to build the item from source:
devtool sdk-install -s libxml2
Comment 7 nagarajagopal 2018-05-08 03:26:09 UTC 
libxml2 is installed using "devtool sdk-install -s libxml2" command, test caes is running succesfully.
Comment 8 Paul Eggleton 2018-05-08 14:42:03 UTC 
Ee Peng - right, but if libxml2 *has* been built and SSTATE_MIRRORS has been set up correctly, then I would expect it to work without -s.
Comment 9 Tim Orling 2018-05-10 07:55:05 UTC 
This is an eSDK issue, not CROPS, so I have changed the product.
Comment 10 Paul Eggleton 2019-06-20 10:11:33 UTC 
I think we'll call this worksforme for now; we can reopen if it's still an issue.
