Hi, i'm trying to build an image for a raspberrypi4 with the meta-debian but i have an error that i can resolve :

ERROR: m4-native-1.4.18-r0 do_unpack: Unpack failure for URL: 'http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/m4/m4_1.4.18.orig.tar.xz;name=m4_1.4.18.orig.tar.xz'.

ERROR: m4-native-1.4.18-r0 do_unpack:
ERROR: m4-native-1.4.18-r0 do_unpack: Function failed: base_do_unpack

same for quilt

ERROR: quilt-native-0.65-r0 do_unpack:

ERROR: automake-native-1.16.1-r0 do_unpack:
ERROR: automake-native-1.16.1-r0 do_unpack: Function failed: base_do_unpack

I'm under kubuntu 16.04

I kept the local.conf generated but add this

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_linux-libc-headers ="linux-libc-headers-base" //to avoid multi provider error

MACHINE = "raspberrypi4-64"

An idea how to resolve this please ?

Hi,

You could check:
- If "xz" is installed on your system.
- If command "xz -dc build/downloads/m4_1.4.18.orig.tar.xz | tar x
--no-same-owner -f -" run successfully or not.
- If "tmp/hosttools/xz" exists and is a correct link to the host's "xz".
- If "build/downloads/m4_1.4.18.orig.tar.xz" exists and can be extracted
manually.

Thanks for your answer. I didn't find xz in tmp/hostools. just add a symbolic link and now it works !

That his strange is that on other yocto build (pyro, rocko ...) for imx6 board i didn't meet this issue and xz is not in hostools ...

best regards !

Yocto use upstream m4 in .gz format while meta-debian use Debian m4
which is in .xz format,
and m4-native cannot depend on xz-native because xz-native depends on
m4-native,
so we need to use xz from host system.

> I didn't find xz in tmp/hostools. just add a symbolic link and now it works !

Since commit 1bb206e, symlink xz should be created in tmp/hosttools
automatically if DISTRO is deby-tiny or deby.
I guess that you set DISTRO to another or variable HOSTTOOLS was overridden.

If you don't want to add symbolic link manually, you can just set
HOSTTOOLS += "xz" in your build config.

Thanks a lot for all this precisions ! it's more clear now in my head ... But it seams now i have a problem when rootfs is building :

Error Summary
-------------

ERROR:
DEBUG: Python function do_rootfs finished
ERROR: Function failed: do_rootfs

but perhaps it's because i use poky in distro ... i will change to deby-tiny. Can you just explain me the difference between poky and deby please ?

I build core-image-base

Please try this patch.
/etc/nsswitch.conf is provided by base-files on Poky, but by glibc on Deian.

It seems that you are using PACKAGE_CLASSES is "package_rpm", you should
change it to "package_deb" in your build/conf/local.conf.

In the old patch I added /etc/nsswitch.conf to glibc-utils (which equal
with libc-bin on Debian)
but libnss-mdns doesn't depend on it, so glibc-utils isn't installed
into image.

I updated the patch and changed package provides /etc/nsswitch.conf to
glibc. Could you please try this patch instead.

Hi and thanks, now the rootfs is ok. I need to boot the pi4 now to test the image (but i need to find an usb c before ...)
