meta-debian compiling error apt

[Arjun Neupane]

Hi, I am creating a debian image for udoo-quad with "meta [poky] , meta-debian , meta-fsl-arm , meta-udoo"

I successfully created a core-image-minimal. Now I am trying  to add more features to  the image, atleast "apt-get" but failed.

Are there advance core-image which I can build with meta-debian ?

I tried to add  IMAGE_FEATURES += "package-management" in conf/local.conf but failed, with following message, does anyone hat an ideal what got wrong. Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thank you for reporting the issue.

The error occurs while compiling
meta/recipes-devtools/apt/apt_1.0.10.1.bb
This recipe is not in meta-debian but OE-Core, so the cause may come from some conflicts between OE-Core apt and cross toolchain of meta-debian.

Currently, "package-management" feature is not available in meta-debian. In order to enable "package-management" feature, apt_debian.bb needs to be implemented in meta-debian (Currently, only "apt-native" is available). We might support this feature in future, but the priority of supporting the feature is not so high because of some reasons:

1. When users install/upgrade packages in their rootfs with apt, anyway they need to bitbake packages again, and then update apt repository by themselves. This takes as much time as to bitbake rootfs again and re-install.

2. meta-debian doesn't support installing foreign packages from other distros' apt repositories. Installing foreign packages is not recommended because the binaries in deb packages of other distros and their metadata (package name, dependencies, etc.)are not compatible with packages in rootfs generated with meta-debian. Some foreign packages might be able to be installed into rootfs, but we cannot assure that they work correctly with regular packages in the rootfs.

However, installing/upgrading packages in rootfs with apt is sometimes useful for debugging purposes (ex: temporally install -dbg packages for debugging and remove them). Therefore, we will support at least dpkg in rootfs. If apt is strongly needed for your system, we'd like to consider adding apt_debian.bb.

Kazuhiro Hayashi
