master:eaa5df34af42b6a37f6506847d0f3ef6ba0d298a

1) boot qemux86-64 core-image-lsb-sdk image
2) issue commands:
"
root@qemux86-64:~# rpm -e mc
error: package mc is not installed
root@qemux86-64:~# which mc
/usr/bin/mc
root@qemux86-64:~# rpm -qa
root@qemux86-64:~#
"

Notice: - mc is not detected as installed even though it is on the image and works
- 'rpm -qa' has no output

NOTE: Tested for BSP and QEMU targets on core-image-lsb-sdk images (ex: qemux86-64, jasperforest, sugarbay)

Comment 1 Alexandru Georgescu 2013-07-09 07:54:46 UTC

I think this should be assigned to another person since Bogdan is no longer working on the Yocto project.

Comment 2 Mark Hatle 2013-07-11 02:52:19 UTC

I attempted to reproduce this issue with core-image-basic.  The package manager and related files were there as expected in my configuration.

Looking at the code, if the system is configured without 'package-management' enabled in IMAGES_FEATURES, then the RPM database and related smart database will be erased.

Comment 3 Chen Qi 2013-07-11 11:53:11 UTC

Previously, only core-image-minimal will remove he packaging data files.

Now the logic has changed, if package-management is not in 'IMAGE_FEATURES', the packaging data files will be deleted.

    image.bbclass: remove unneeded files from the image
    
    This patch creates a new function, rootfs_remove_unneeded(), that will
    be called after rootfs_*_do_rootfs is called and which will handle
    delayed postinstalls in a generic fashion, for all backends in the same
    way.


Adding 'package-management' to core-image-lsb will do the fix.

LSB does require a package manager available.
