Hi Richard,

In the SDK at 
|$sdk/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/x86_64-poky-linux|, the 
script |"x86_64-poky-linux-gp-display-html"| is not pulled or packaged 
by the gprofng package.
Instead, it is installed as part of the binutils-cross-canadian package.

Adding the perl module dependencies to gprofng**package**will not 
resolve this issue , it would be effective only if "nativesdk-gprofng" 
is explicitly installed by the user.

Thanks,
Harish
