Description Ming Liu 2012-11-23 09:40:29 UTC 
Created attachment 948 [details]
0001-rootfs_rpm.bbclass-normalize-arch-output-of-list_ins.patch

Add the following to the local.conf:
    MACHINE ?= "beagleboard"

    EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += "dbg-pkgs"

    IMAGE_INSTALL_append += "which"
    IMAGE_INSTALL_append += "grep"
    IMAGE_INSTALL_append += "sed"
    IMAGE_INSTALL_append += "gawk"

After compiling, noticed that all -dbg packages of above appended not got installed into the filesystem. (e.g. which.which is supposed to be in /usr/bin/.debug but not).

This is caused by function list_installed_packages defined in rootfs_rpm.bbclass is outputting wrong arch values("-" replaced by "_"), which then results in oe-pkgdata-util script missed processing some complementary packages with these wrong archs.  

And as observed, this also causes license information missing of specific packages.

This defect is introduced by: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=4a015e57ccee4fec8ab1da6717f4e2d5c4bb9ff5

Attached patch fixes it upon my test.

The attached patch will introduce another issue when dealing with qemux86_64 or x86_64 platforms, which the regression fix provided in Comment 1, so pls reference it as the fix.
