I've been researching this for a while, but failed to figure out what causes this runtime relation. Is there a way to find out where this is being "detected"? The workaround I implemented is simply adding this line to the samba recipe, which at least gets rid of the overhead in the image: RDEPENDS_${PN}_remove = "perl" (Samba 4 is bloated enough by itself, it doesn't need other packages to inflate its runtime even more) -- Mike Looijmans
