Description Robert Yang 2013-09-08 03:12:02 UTC 
We remove the blkid and other tools from e2fsprogs_1.42.8.bb currently:

        # We use blkid from util-linux now so remove from here
        rm -f ${D}${base_libdir}/libblkid*
        rm -rf ${D}${includedir}/blkid
        rm -f ${D}${base_libdir}/pkgconfig/blkid.pc
        rm -f ${D}${base_sbindir}/blkid
        rm -f ${D}${base_sbindir}/fsck
        rm -f ${D}${base_sbindir}/findfs

I think that they should be in ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME
Comment 1 Chen Qi 2013-09-13 08:59:05 UTC 
blkid from e2fsprogs is removed because util-linux provides it and we can't use the update-alternatives mechanism on shared libraries. It's actually removed deliberately.

Close this bug as WONTFIX.
