Using the eSDK installer from 2.4 release, I have also tried to use search subcommands. eSDK installer used in this example: http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-2.4/toolchain/x86_64/poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-minimal-core2-64-toolchain-ext-2.4.sh When running ‘devtool search libGL’ , it returned some tracebacks and not returning the search results. ----- snip ----- $ devtool search libGL NOTE: Starting bitbake server...

Some extra checking on 'devtool search' outside of eSDK environment. Same failure found. $ cd poky $ source oe-init-build-env $ devtool search libGL NOTE: Starting bitbake server...

I have now fixed this in master (for 2.5) - not only do we avoid the traceback, but we also now search the recipe cache as well in case the item being searched for has not been built: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=e8c7c36c60da20df4e261f27b1606f8e2aa2e441
