ERROR: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Could not invoke dnf

Hello,

I'm relatively new to working with Yocto / Poky and I'm trying to build a rootfs for an Arria10 Intel FPGA, according to the exact steps from Intel.  My host machine is Ubuntu 18.04, and I am running into an error and was wondering how/where to start with debugging this?  I read another post on here where this error was resolved in that case with adding  ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN} = "1"

Is this the proper thing to do in this case, and if so, where do I add this?

Here is the command and the error message:

bitbake core-image-minimal

The actual error from dnf is a bit later on in the log, can you share
it?

This means that the two packages are trying to create /var/lib differently. 
If you run `rpm -qilvp <path to respective rpm file>`, you should be able 
to tell what the difference is. The rpm files can be found in "tmp/deploy/rpm/".

Then you will have to determine what causes this difference in your 
configuration, because they do not differ in a standard poky build.

Re: [poky] ERROR: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Could not invoke dnf

[John Lemonovich]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the reply.  I looked at it and here is the difference.  Is it a problem that each one needs a different subdirectory within /var/lib/ ?

From  tmp/deploy/rpm/cortexa9t2hf_neon/initscripts-1.0-r155.cortexa9t2hf_neon.rpm : 
drwxr-x---    2 root    root                        0 Apr  5  2011 /var/lib
drwxr-xr-x    2 root    root                        0 Apr  5  2011 /var/lib/urandom

From  tmp/deploy/rpm/arria10/base-files-3.0.14-r89.arria10.rpm:
drwxr-xr-x    2 root    root                        0 Apr  5  2011 /var/lib
drwxr-xr-x    2 root    root                        0 Apr  5  2011 /var/lib/misc


I'm not sure what's causing the problem with the configuration - the steps to create the rootfs are given from Intel/Rocketboards and I would presume worked at some point.  However, I will say that it's more common than not for a given set of build commands/steps  to NOT work by default without problems... 

Thanks,
John

Or... is it the different permissions on the /var/lib directory itself ?

Yes, it is. Everything about a directory must match for dnf/rpm to 
allow it to be created by multiple packages.

In this case it seems the initscripts package you use has the wrong 
permissions for /var/lib as it shall be 0755, not 0750. AFAICT, the 
recipe in meta has created /var/lib with mode 0755 since the creation 
of /var/lib/urandom was introduced in 2012 so it must be something in 
one of your layers that change the behavior of the initscripts package.

[John Lemonovich]

I was getting an error message saying:   
ERROR:  OE-core's config sanity checker detected a potential misconfiguration.
    Either fix the cause of this error or at your own risk disable the checker (see sanity.conf).
    Following is the list of potential problems / advisories:

    Your Python 3 is not a full install. Please install the module distutils.sysconfig (see the Getting Started guide for further information).
The TMPDIR: /us/jlem/xyz_rootfs/a10/build/tmp can't be located on nfs.


So, I installed Python3 and tried again with a fresh checkout on a local directory for my VM, and it appears that is working!

Yes, it is. Everything about a directory must match for dnf/rpm to allow it to be created by multiple packages.

In this case it seems the initscripts package you use has the wrong permissions for /var/lib as it shall be 0755, not 0750. AFAICT, the recipe in meta has created /var/lib with mode 0755 since the creation of /var/lib/urandom was introduced in 2012 so it must be something in one of your layers that change the behavior of the initscripts package.
