Description Dongxiao Xu 2012-04-11 16:52:27 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1) Change core-image-basic.bb to be following:

DESCRIPTION = "A foundational basic image without support for X that can be \
reasonably used for customization."

IMAGE_FEATURES += "apps-console-core ssh-server-openssh"

IMAGE_INSTALL = "\
    task-core-basic \
    task-core-ssh-openssh \
    task-core-apps-console \
    task-core-boot \
    "
inherit core-image

2) run "bitbake core-image-basic"

We will meet rootfs error and the log is something like:

groupadd: group 'netdev' already exists

I checked that dbus-1 RDEPENDS on base-passwd, however from the above log we can see that, system tries to install dbus-1 firstly, and then base-passwd, causing the useradd/groupadd scripts panic.

I think RP has resolved this, but please verify.
Comment 2 Scott Garman 2012-04-12 00:07:03 UTC 
Yes, this is now fixed in oe-core and poky master as of:
