Hello Ross,

Post-installation scripts run immediately after installing a package on the 
target or during image creation when a package is included in an image.
Does  it not mean that we can set the file attributes(setcap) during  image 
creation ?

I understand the delayed approach of executing it on the target, but my 
requirement is to do it on the build host. We do not want “setcap”  utility to 
be present on the target.


Regards
Shrawan

Can someone review the attached recipe and help solve the problem statement  ?

As has been said, you need to ensure the postinst is delayed so it runs on the 
target and not on the build host.
