I traced back and I see the gio-querymodules call is inserted in the postrm by gio-module-class.bbclass. Based on the commit notes, the postrm and postinst steps are an optimization and are not required to succeed. Therefore I'd argue this should fail gracefully; just because we haven't yet seen this fail during minor upgrade attempts doesn't mean it can't. I'd propose changing the line: ${libexecdir}/${MLPREFIX}gio-querymodules ${libdir}/gio/modules/ in gio-module-cache.bbclass to: ${libexecdir}/${MLPREFIX}gio-querymodules ${libdir}/gio/modules/ || true I tested this change and it fixed my upgrade issue. I still saw the error message but libglib-2.0 completed its upgrade successfully. If you don't see any issues with this change, I'll send a patch out later today.
