Description Martin Mohring 2013-05-06 17:29:17 UTC 
rpms macro file in:

/usr/lib/rpm/macros:%__mkdir_p           /usr/bin/mkdir -p

sets mkdir_p to /usr/bin/mkdir instead of /bin/mkdir.

%install is not optional, so all rpm builds fail.

This is only on x86 32bit target, all other targets work.
Comment 1 Saul Wold 2013-05-06 18:02:23 UTC 
More information is needed here. I just did a build and it has the correct path which is set via the db_cv_path_mkdir in meta/site/common-linux file.

Can you attach your config.log file your rpm build? This file would be in the tmp/work/<arch>/rpm/<version>/build dir (if you are using 1.4).
Comment 2 Mark Hatle 2013-05-06 18:27:12 UTC 
Note: This defect appears to be referring to 'rpmbuild' when running -on the target-.

Martin, please verify this is correct.
Comment 3 Martin Mohring 2013-05-06 18:32:41 UTC 
I found the problem in the package from

http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.4/rpm/i586/rpm-5.4.9-r62.i586.rpm

/usr/lib/rpm/macros

line 110

%__mkdir_p /usr/bin/mkdir -p

Maybe a borked release file ?

I could *not find this* in the other architectures...
Comment 4 Martin Mohring 2013-05-06 18:56:37 UTC 
And on your question: yes, error occurs when rpm is run on the target.

In this case: rpmbuild is called.

I setup a chroot of the rpm packages from said location on the yocto release server, http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.4/rpm

Subject: [PATCH] rpm: ensure __mkdir_p matches __mkdir

They differ at times because one is set from the db_cv_path_mkdir and the other is
found during config time for the host (/usr/bin/mkdir), in the macros we should just
use __mkdir for the __mkdir_p variant.
