Error in do_rootfs while builing on sumo with cmake the library called "libfmt" 4.1.0 (on rocko it was ok)

I created a custom meta-layer to build libfmt 4.1.0 (
https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt).
Since this library uses cmake, I created this receipe:

--------------------------------
*SUMMARY = "fmt"*
*SECTION = "base"*

*SRC_URI = "https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/archive/${PV}.tar.gz
<https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/archive/${PV}.tar.gz>"*
*S = "${WORKDIR}/fmt-${PV}"*

*SRC_URI[md5sum] = "057d1fc49f6d3114e29e8cc72cf70e08"*
*SRC_URI[sha256sum] =
"46628a2f068d0e33c716be0ed9dcae4370242df135aed663a180b9fd8e36733d"*

*inherit cmake*
*EXTRA_OECMAKE = ""*
--------------------------------

Adding fmt as a dependency into my local.conf and running "bitbake fmt" I'm
able to build the library without issues.

But, when I run "bitbake my-image-name" to bundle everything I receive the
error below (ONLY WITH SUMO, on ROCKO everything was perfect).
The same receipe on rocko is absolutely ok. This error appears only on sumo.

*Do you have any suggestions? I'm completely blocked and I cannot update my
device to sumo because this library is a dependency of another important
library that I'm using.*
*So, I have to add fmt.*

Thank u,

I had a similar problem where the rapidjson recipe was not working only on sumo.
The problem was that the default ${PN} package was empty so it would
not be generated, but do_rootfs would try to include it.
It helped to add a bbappend with the following line:
FILES_${PN} = " ${includedir}/ "

in your case you could possibly add ${libdir}/ as well,
This will create the rapidjson package and dnf will be happy.

I do not know if it is the right way to do that but it solves the
problem for me.
