When selecting deb as root file system package format from Settings -> Other, the packaging process (at the end of the build) fails with the following log message: *************************************************************************** # build with deb packages, qemux86, core image base # system gzip 1.4 DEBUG: Executing shell function do_populate_sdk dpkg-scanpackages: info: Wrote 7 entries to output Packages file. dpkg-scanpackages: info: Wrote 3309 entries to output Packages file. dpkg-scanpackages: info: Wrote 314 entries to output Packages file. dpkg-scanpackages: info: Wrote 7 entries to output Packages file. dpkg-scanpackages: info: Wrote 596 entries to output Packages file.

This is possibly a general Debian packaging bug, what OS are you using to do the testing? It would be helpful in general to include OS info, as well as either tarball location or GIT hashes so that we can try to reproduce the issue.
OS: Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS Git commit ID: a5b2c1e4ce3ad4f2b9ea306c6d10f528c5ef8b66 Master branch
Alex, can you tell the build result of bitbake command line?
Alex, Hob is a tool to help you to build the images with user-friendly interface (nothing concrete). So Hob fails to build something, it is very possible that bitbake command line fails to build. Can you help to double check with bitbake command line, and report the bug for Hob only when the error happens only on the Hob side?
The behavior did not reproduce with bitbake command line under the same commit. I guess this is a hob issue only.
Hi Alex, Is this problem still there?
Hi, I could not reproduce the behavior. Double checked with one of my colleagues, and same result. Changed status to Resolved/WorksForMe
Setting this to verified in 1.3 M4
