Thanks for your response. How would I go about killing this '-dev' package? With a little more digging, I found that the package_depchains function of package.bbclass is generating the dependency from gettext-dev to the non-exisitant libgettextlib-dev package---a "if A depends on B, then A-dev depends on B-dev" rule. I was able to suppress this behaviour with: RRECOMMENDS_gettext-dev[nodeprrecs] = "1" This 'nodeprrecs' technique seems rarely used and a bit heavy-handed (I don't want to get rid of all dependencies, just ones that don't exist). How else might I tackle this? --Ash -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
