Description Paul Eggleton 2013-09-26 13:10:46 UTC 
If you run bitbake package-index when using the RPM backend it is not unlikely it will fail with the following:

ERROR: There are no packages in /path/to/tmp/deploy/rpm!

Looking at the log you can tell it is not looking at the correct list of package architectures, and the reason for this is that package_update_index_rpm() uses MULTILIB_PREFIX_LIST which is only set (separately) when populate_sdk_rpm or rootfs_rpm are inherited, which is not the case for the package-index recipe. Even if it does not fail it will not be indexing all of the package architectures.

Fixing this properly will require some refactoring. In the meantime I have a stopgap fix that I will be sending for 1.5.

Fix merged to master:

I've entered bug 5286 to cover the refactoring, so I'll mark this one as resolved.
