Description Saul Wold 2012-04-20 16:28:03 UTC 
The newer version of eglibc 2.15 not installs a Makefile in /var/db, older versions did not install this file.  This first shows up in the nativesdk build because we use 2.15.

This will need to be fixed for all installations of eglibc. This file is not needed for nativesdk, but should be installed on the target.



WARNING: For recipe eglibc-nativesdk, the following files/directories were installed but not shipped in any package:
WARNING:   /var
WARNING:   /var/db
WARNING:   /var/db/Makefile

Until this is fixed we can not convert the package warnings into errors.

I am seeing same for the target eglibc also

NOTE: package eglibc-2.15-r7+svnr17386: task do_package: Started

and the /var/db/Makefile is neither installed by eglibc-2.13

I think unless there is a valid reason to keep it we should delete the file.
