I don't think you are the first person who wants to add a package to image after the image has been built :) The obvious problem would have been leading spaces in IMAGE_INSTALL_append but you explicitly stated its correct. Normally, the class that's responsible for image creation (image.bbclass) depends on the packages defined in IMAGE_INSTALL so that the packages are built before the image creation begins. image.bbclass, line 9 --------------------- RDEPENDS += "${IMAGE_INSTALL} ${LINGUAS_INSTALL} ${NORMAL_FEATURE_INSTALL} ${ROOTFS_BOOTSTRAP_INSTALL}" On irc (#oe), Eric Benard tried IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " trace-cmd" after a full build and reported that it built fine. I'm CCing him. I believe that it will be better to include your file and the files that you changed so that it will be easier to debug. Mentioning your layers, configuration, version of Yocto you use will also be helpful. Regards, Eren -- . 73! DE TA1AET http://erenturkay.com/
