Oct 10 08:12:36 I get a ton of "trying to install, but file exists" sstate postfunc errors :( Oct 10 08:55:25 Hello. I am trying to build the net-snmp package and i get error "Unknown package 'net-snmp'" and "opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package net-snmp" in the error logs. Can someone help me as to what might be the error? Oct 10 08:57:19 koen: I don't do any deploy-outside-TMPDIR from recipes now Oct 10 09:03:34 sanchayan: I don't really know anything about the net-snmp recipe, but you should check if it is actually meant to produce a package called "net-snmp" Oct 10 09:03:58 sanchayan: e.g. perhaps it is split up into several net-snmp-xyz component packages and there is no main net-snmp package Oct 10 09:04:17 morning all Oct 10 09:13:12 Hello bluelightning. thanks for the tip. I do not have too much know how on oe. I always thought specifying the name of the package as per bitbake recipe name of the package in question is how it is. Oct 10 09:13:39 sanchayan: 95% of the time the main package for the recipe is named the same of the recipe Oct 10 09:13:51 er, the same as I meant to type Oct 10 09:14:48 there are a few recipes where there is e.g. a client/server split such that the main package ends up empty Oct 10 09:15:10 there are two places you can check for which net-snmp packages have actually been produced Oct 10 09:15:36 you can look at the package files in tmp/deploy/ipk (or rpm, or deb depending on your configuration) Oct 10 09:16:02 or alternatively you can look under the packages-split/ subdirectory of the workdir for the recipe Oct 10 09:16:23 the workdir for the recipe being tmp/work//// Oct 10 09:17:05 so I would suggest checking in one of those two places to find the actual package you want to install and then change the package name you're specifying to match Oct 10 09:25:41 I just checked in the ipk/ directory. What you said seems to be the case. It is split in four different ipks and net-snmp being suffixed with client or server etc. Just modified my image recipe accordingly to include those names and it works out. Thanks a million bluelightning.
