bitbake fails on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - fix in bug 5342 points to a broken link tar: --same-order option cannot be used with -c Try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information. tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors ERROR: Function 'sysroot_stage_all' failed (see /home/clayj/Yocto/yocto-build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/quilt-native-0.48-r0/temp/log.do_populate_sysroot.31617 for further information)
Which version of bitbake and OE/Poky are you trying to use? We test current master on ubuntu 14.04 regularly so this must be a very old version of the metadata?
