adding package nss in rootfs failed with dependency "/usr/local/bin/perl"

Hi,

I have cross compiled NSS 3.13.1 for x86 64 bit environment, but when I try
to add NSS package in rootfs, i am getting the following error,

*error: Failed dependencies:
       /usr/local/bin/perl is needed by nss-3.13.1-r0.x86_64*

I know perl is needed for nss, but the path which is trying to look perl,
is quite confusing me, for perl doesn't exist in that location at all. Can
anyone please tell me whats going on here and what have I missed?

P.S: I am using Yocto-1.1.1 and Ubuntu host-11.10 64 bit.

Thanks all for your help,
JC

This is a bug in the nss package.  It has an executable shell script that has a:

#! /usr/local/bin/perl

in it, which causes RPM to add a dependency on that specific path, and nothing 
is providing the path.

The fix is either, decide this is a sample/demo shell script and remove it from 
the nss package -- or fix the script to use the proper perl location of 
"${bindir}/perl"

Thanks Mark for pointing it out. That solved it. I fixed the script to use
proper perl and added nss in rootfs with no problem.
