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.


Could you please help me for resolving this issue.


Regards,

Raghavendra K.

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"

Hi Alimon,


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.


Could you please clarify it.


Thnaks in advance.


Regards,

Raghavendra K.

Did you actually configure your sources.list, and run apt-get update?
