Hi,
thanks for that hint!
I finally managed to install a "third party" deb package using the
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND [1] in my rootfs.bb recipe.
Although I not fully understand why the "--admindir" parameter is required when
the "--root" parameter is given.
The ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND I'm using is:
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "${STAGING_BINDIR_NATIVE}/dpkg
--root=${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/ --admindir=${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/var/lib/dpkg/ -i
/path/to/package.deb"
I think pretty the same command will work for rpm packages.
Can anybody of you explain to me why "--root" AND "--admindir" are required for
dpkg to work correctly?
According to the dpkg manpage --admindir shouldn't be required when --root is
given:
--admindir=dir
Change default administrative directory, which contains
many files that give information about status of
installed or uninstalled packages, etc. (Defaults to
/var/lib/dpkg)
--root=dir
Changing root changes instdir to dir and admindir to
dir/var/lib/dpkg.
best regards,
Richard
