Take a look at http://tinderbox.openembedded.net/packages/libtool/ The QA log for libtool (on armeb) says: evil hides inside the .pc, staging, /staging/armeb-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib/pkgconfig/pycairo.pc evil hides inside the .pc, staging, /staging/armeb-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ORBit-2.0.pc Both of these aren't part of the libtool packages, but part of python-pycairo_1.4.0.bb and orbit2_2.14.12.bb respectively. The staging QA checks inspect the *complete* staging area, not just the files the recipe put in there. Some people have already started moving recipes to non-working because they didn't bother to look what was causing the QA error, but only acted on the last QA log on their screen. "Libtool has errors in its QA log, so it must be broken" - Bzzzzt! WRONG! So please take care when you inspect the QA logs, things aren't always what they seem. regards, Koen
