Description Hongxu Jia 2013-02-20 10:45:05 UTC 
*env
Settings from local.conf:
PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_deb"
IMAGE_FEATURES += "package-management ssh-server-openssh"

*problem
Run `bitbake core-image-minimal' failed
>>log<<
cannot create $D${sysconfdir}/passwd: Directory nonexistent
cannot create $D${sysconfdir}/group: Directory nonexistent

*analysis
In meta/recipes-core/base-passwd/base-passwd_3.5.26.bb, 
.................
 if [ ! -e $D${sysconfdir}/passwd ]; then
 \tcat << EOF > $D${sysconfdir}/passwd
 """ + passwd + """EOF
 fi
 if [ ! -e $D${sysconfdir}/group ]; then
 \tcat << EOF > $D${sysconfdir}/group
 """ + group + """EOF
 fi
.................
It creates files `passwd' and `group' in `$D${sysconfdir}',
if `$D${sysconfdir}' does not exist, run base-passwd.preinst
to install base-passwd at image ceation time failed.

*resolution
Check the existance of dir before file creation.
