Description Holger Freyther 2013-07-18 15:58:00 UTC 
I ended up with an image without having depmod. The upgrade with opkg upgrade then prints a lot of errors like this. This is not with a Yocto kernel but the one used for my kernel and I am using the kernel.bbclass.

What is the bug you are reporting? If you can't have kmod in your image then you shouldn't be building modules...
Comment 2 Paul Eggleton 2013-07-25 14:35:37 UTC 
I think what Holger is saying is not that he can't have kmod but that it wasn't brought in by anything.
