Description Paul Eggleton 2012-03-16 13:39:51 UTC

bitbake package-index fails due to not being able to find the libxml2 bindings:

| + createrepo /home/paul/poky/poky/build/tmp/deploy/rpm
| Traceback (most recent call last):
|   File "/home/paul/poky/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 27, in <module>
|     import libxml2
| ImportError: No module named libxml2
NOTE: package package-index-1.0-r0: task do_package_index: Failed

I suspect this is because the host python is being used instead of the native one since the libxml2 module does exist in the native sysroot.

Comment 1 Paul Eggleton 2012-03-29 16:50:59 UTC

I can no longer reproduce this after cleaning out TMPDIR, and it works fine on two other host machines. I'm aware I had some brokenness in there due to some other bugs, so I'm going to mark this one as WORKSFORME.

Comment 2 Richard Purdie 2012-03-31 17:10:00 UTC

Whilst I never saw the libxml issue, I consistently see:

Comment 3 Andrei Gherzan 2012-04-10 10:04:07 UTC

The bug is that the native python used to run genpkgmetadata.py is picking up host's python modules.

More about this. RPM is built without python. And this modules is needed by the above py file.

So: 
1. rpm-native should be built with python support. 
2. native python should only look into STAGING_DIR_NATIVE directory for modules.
