log.do_rootfs

Latest oe-core, building poky-image-minimal for qemuarm on Ubuntu 10.04.2, enabled rpm and opkg.

Attached /OE/core-build/tmp/work/qemuarm-poky-linux-gnueabi/poky-image-minimal-1.0-r0/temp/log.do_rootfs.4436

log.do_rootfs with -vv added to RPM

Added -vv to rpm command
Comment 2 Mark Hatle 2011-03-16 20:56:49 UTC 
This looks almost exactly like the problem reported by Khem Raj on Ubuntu 11.04-alpha.
Comment 3 Mark Hatle 2011-03-17 13:55:44 UTC 
I was able to reproduce this problem on Ubuntu 10.04.2 running the _OE_ version of bitbake.  Using the Poky version of Bitbake, I was unable to reproduce the problem.

Investigating further....

Bitbake patch to set the pseudo environment

This patch, applied to current bitbake (oe) head should resolve the problem.
Comment 5 Mark Hatle 2011-03-17 20:43:31 UTC 
Attached is a fix for this issue.

It was determined that a patch from Poky did not make it into the upstream bitbake.  This prevented pseudo from running during the rootfs creation, causing RPM to shutdown without an error message.

NOTE: this defect is specific to oe-core + oe (upstream) bitbake.  It does not affect Yocto 1.0.
Comment 6 Mark Hatle 2011-03-18 09:10:38 UTC 
Fix has been applied to upstream bitbake:

A second commit was necessary to activate the first
