bitbake populate_sdk for image fails with error


When bitbaking my image, there are no errors. However, when i want to run the `populate_sdk´ command for my image, an error occurs that i can't seem to figure out how to fix.

The error:

ERROR: myimage-1.0-r0 do_populate_sdk: Unable to install packages. Command '/home/yoctouser/build/tmp/work/poky-linux/myimage/1.0-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/apt-get  install --force-yes --allow-unauthenticated 
(A_LOT_OF_LISTED_PACKAGES) returned 100:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 target-sdk-provides-dummy : Conflicts: coreutils
                             Conflicts: pkgconfig
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I am using the Poky Zeus.

When i google this error, I don't see any solutions at all.

Deleting the entire /tmp/ folder does nothing and removing coreutils and pkgconfig only produces more errors. Cleaning sstate for the packages and for the images, doesn't have any effect either.

Any idea on how I can fix this problem?

Let me know if you want more information.


Solution

  • Changing the PACKAGE_CLASSES to the default or package_rpm could solve your issue. It looks like IPK and RPM are more used and tested that DEB.
