I had a look at run-postinsts:

MACHINE=qemux86 bitbake run-postinsts
MACHINE=qemuarm bitbake run-postinsts

ls tmp/stamps/all-poky-linux/run-postinsts/

Hmm, two different sigdata files for do_package.

bitbake-diffsigs tmp/stamps/all-poky-linux/run-postinsts/1.0-r9.do_package.sigdata.*
(assumes only two sigdata files there, idea is to compare them)

Difference is the OVERRIDES variable. We therefore dump one of the files:

bitbake-diffsigs tmp/stamps/all-poky-linux/run-postinsts/1.0-r9.do_package.sigdata.X | grep OVERRIDES

and see that OVERRIDES is depended on in two places:

List of dependencies for variable systemd_populate_packages is set(['systemd_prerm', 'D', 'exec_prefix', 'OVERRIDES', 'sysconfdir', 'SYSTEMD_PACKAGES', 'systemd_postinst', 'nonarch_base_libdir', 'PACKAGES'])
List of dependencies for variable populate_packages_updatercd is set(['D', 'updatercd_postrm', 'OVERRIDES', 'INITSCRIPT_NAME', 'INHIBIT_UPDATERCD_BBCLASS', 'MLPREFIX', 'updatercd_postinst', 'updatercd_preinst', 'updatercd_prerm', 'INIT_D_DIR', 'PACKAGES', 'INITSCRIPT_PACKAGES', 'UPDATERCPN'])

So the patch to fix this is:

diff --git a/meta/classes/systemd.bbclass b/meta/classes/systemd.bbclass

since OVERRIDES isn't a needed dependency here, its effect is all that matters, not its contents.

Cheers,
