AB builds set of tools for wic in step 12 of nightly-wic build: BuildImages Building syslinux syslinux-native parted-native gptfdisk-native dosfstools-native mtools-native However, due to RSS those tools are not accessible by wic. AB should build wic-tools instead.
We need to continue to build "syslinux syslinux-native parted-native gptfdisk-native dosfstools-native mtools-native" for YP releases prior to pyro
There is another way to fix it: to modify autobuilder code to build wic images with bitbake. This way step 12 can be skipped entirely. This can be done by adding 'wic' to the IMAGE_FSTYPES on step 11: CreateAutoConf Create Auto Configuration.

We have to continue to build prior releases with the AB, substituting the string of native-tools for wic-tools on pyro or newer is an easy way to achieve that.
It depends on which releases we should support. wic image type was implemented around Sep 2015.
