Using OE-core daisy branch: $ bsdtar -Oxf ttf-bitstream-vera_1.10-r7.0_cortexa7hf-vfp-vfpv4-neon.ipk control.tar.gz | bsdtar -tf - ./ ./control ./postrm ./postinst Using OE-core master branch: $ bsdtar -Oxf ttf-bitstream-vera_1.10-r7.1_cortexa7hf-vfp-vfpv4-neon.ipk control.tar.gz | bsdtar -tf - ./ ./control A result of this is that the fontconfig cache is not generated and included in the images. I suspect this issue also affects the dizzy branch.
You can check if the fontconfig cache has been generated during build by checking if /var/cache/fontconfig is empty in the image.
Fixed in master by https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=9d0feb3f29fa7c7855accfb8a7b3bf1c3c608dea.
Tested with fido:8b3d3e7c957ad06c390886487f69aeb8e145da6a I could see the fontcache in /var/cache/config on a qemux86 image.
