it's not a bug. bitbake is using parallel tasks a lot. At any time it is running N tasks. When one task fails, it will wait for N-1 ongoing tasks to finish, and then stops. If you restart again, it will likely try N new tasks again, and the same task that failed, will fail again, it will wait for N-1 tasks to complete. if you do that several times, you will end up in a situation where the only task that can run is the 'failing' one, so it will try 1 task and fail immediately. > thanks. > > -- > _______________________________________________ > yocto mailing list > yocto@yoctoproject.org > https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto > -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
