Description Paul Eggleton 2014-03-03 14:23:47 UTC 
From: http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/main/builders/nightly-fsl-arm/builds/64/steps/BuildImages_2/logs/stdio

It seems createrepo can fail and not produce a proper error message:

------------ snip ------------
ERROR: Index creation command '/home/pokybuild/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-slave/nightly-fsl-arm/build/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/createrepo --update -q /home/pokybuild/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-slave/nightly-fsl-arm/build/build/tmp/deploy/rpm/all' failed with return code -6:

ERROR: Function failed: do_rootfs
ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: /home/pokybuild/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-slave/nightly-fsl-arm/build/build/tmp/work/imx28evk-poky-linux-gnueabi/core-image-sato/1.0-r0/temp/log.do_rootfs.16007
NOTE: recipe core-image-sato-1.0-r0: task do_rootfs: Failed
------------ snip ------------

I'm not sure whether createrepo isn't reporting the error properly or whether we're just not capturing it, but we ought to be able to see why it failed.

Patch fixing the error reporting is on the ML.
