log.do_rootfs

Using danny/1.3M5.rc3 build appliance on VMware Player, core-image-minimal fails on do_rootfs, complaining about missing perl module Dpkg.pm.

Log attached.

One piece of important info that I forgot to mention: package format was set to deb and rpm. Using only rpm the image builds fine.
Comment 2 Saul Wold 2012-10-08 22:51:45 UTC 
For 1.3 Debian is not a vaild packaging system for the build appliance.  The Debian packages and rootfs creation need some work in general and won't work in build appliance.
Comment 3 Saul Wold 2012-10-08 22:54:21 UTC 
Part of the solution is to add the dpkg, dpkg-perl and possibly update-alternatives-dpkg, but this is where it gets tricky since update-alternatives can be used by the different package systems and we need to have the correct one operating!
Comment 4 Cristian Iorga 2013-04-04 10:41:04 UTC 
Tested under BA using bitbake and Hob. Works correctly now.
