The result of these lines faced me to errors using KaeilOS distro. This modification looks (to me) related to bluez4 and Angstrom only and I wonder why some package recipes (bluez4*.bb) contains some lines that strictly ties them to Angstrom distribution breaking other distributions. Files I found are the following: recipes/bluez/bluez4_4.35.bb:PROVIDES_append_angstrom = " bluez-utils bluez-libs" recipes/bluez/bluez4_4.37.bb:PROVIDES_append_angstrom = " bluez-utils bluez-libs" recipes/bluez/bluez4.inc:PROVIDES_append_angstrom = " bluez-utils-dbus bluez-utils bluez-libs" Lines are similar to these: # For angstrom we want this to replace at least bluez-libs PROVIDES_append_angstrom = " bluez-utils-dbus bluez-utils bluez-libs" RPROVIDES_bluez4-dev_angstrom = "bluez-libs-dev" My question is: why these lines are not into angstrom*.bb distro recipe making bluez*.bb distro-independent (agnostic)? Thank you in advance for your hints. /marco
