Description Chen Qi 2013-11-19 04:54:23 UTC 
The following packages require /bin/bash, but don't have 'bash' in there RDEPENDS. This will cause potential build failures. For example, if we add 'nfs-utils' to core-image-minimal and fire a build, the rootfs process will fail because there's no bash in rpm repo.

Comment 1 Saul Wold 2013-11-19 20:36:36 UTC 
Can you evaluate the scripts that use /bin/bash to see if they can be de-bashed vs blindly adding bash as a dependency.
Comment 2 Chen Qi 2014-11-11 02:03:21 UTC 
Robert has sent out a bunch of patches for this one.
