After adding the lines what you mentioned in the local.conf file and tried to get the git packages with "apt-get " it also give the error but this time it is different. It gives the error "unable to locate package git".

I have a doubt here, when I run the apt-get in yocto distribution where it can get the given package.

Hi,


I have some requirement with apt-get in yocto genearted rootfs.


I built the yocto source code with enabling the apt package.


But after booting the image on my machine and run the "apt-get" command for installing some package it gives the following error.


Could not open the file /var/lib/dpkg/status open(2: no such a file or directory).

The package lists or status files could not be parsed or opened.

This error is because you need to add package-management to EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES in local.conf,

PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_deb"
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks package-management"

Could you please help me for resolving this issue.
