do_rootfs fails while attempting to install hostapd package

do_rootfs fails while attempting to install hostapd package

[Morné Lamprecht]

Hi

I created a new custom distribution and 
everything seems to work fine until the do_rootfs 
task is executed. It fails specifically when 
trying to install the hostapd package, with the 
error below (snippet from log.do_rootfs):

> Running scriptlet: hostapd-2.6-r0.aarch64
>
> usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] [-r <root>] <basename> remove update-rc.d
> [-n] [-r <root>] [-s] <basename> defaults [NN | sNN kNN]
> update-rc.d [-n] [-r <root>] [-s] <basename> start|stop NN runlvl [runlvl]
>

> error: hostapd-2.6-r0.aarch64: install failed

The hostapd package itself builds fine, it is 
just the installation to the rootfs that fails.

The hostapd package is specified in 
MACHINE_EXTRA_DEPENDS, if I remove it, then the 
build succeeds without any issues.

If I interpret the error correctly, it is the 
preinstall scriptlet that fails...but I am not 
sure where to start debugging this.

Any suggestions ?

I would check run.do_rootfs and check it maybe there will be some more info.
Do you have some custom extension for hostapd? Thanks.

I checked it based on your suggestion, 
unfortunately found no relevant info.

No, just the standard package.

Which startup system do you use (sysVinit or systemd)?
You can take a look at poky/meta/classed/update-rc.d.bbclass which
checks various parameters and try to debug it (by adding some
printouts).
By my guess is that some misconfiguration between systemd/sysvinit
must cause this issue. Thanks.

I'm using systemd. I think you may be right, I'll 
have a look at update-rc.d.bbclass and see if I 
can debug it.

Thanks for the advice !

Adding DISTRO_FEATURES_remove += " sysvinit" to 
my distro conf file, solved the problem.

I also have DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFULL_CONSIDERED = 
"sysvinit" in my config (also had it during the 
failed builds), I thought it would prevent 
sysvinit from being added/backfilled to the 
DISTRO features ? So I'm not sure why 
DISTRO_FEATURES_remove is also required in this 
case ?

The variable is DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED, in case that
wasn't a typo when writing the mail.

It wasn't a typo, and that was exactly the 
problem.  Well spotted, everything in the world 
makes sense again :-)
