Description Marcin Bajer 2024-08-08 12:14:54 UTC 
While trying to genete sparse build system reports missing "truncate" tool.

```
run.do_image_wic.279213: 165: truncate: not found
```

Seems the solution is to add coreutils-native as dependency

```
CONVERSION_DEPENDS_sparse = "android-tools-native" -> CONVERSION_DEPENDS_sparse = "android-tools-native coreutils-native"
```

Tempolary solution for me without making a changes in OE core is to add:

```
do_image_wic[depends] += "coreutils-native:do_populate_sysroot"
```

in my image description recipe.

We may as well just add this to HOSTTOOLS since we already effectively depend upon coreutils. I've sent a patch.
