Hi Chen,

Thanks for the new version. Still, we get some errors with post install
scripts:

ERROR: core-image-sato-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Postinstall scriptlets of ['bluez5', 'ofono', 'connman', 'xserver-nodm-init', 'avahi-daemon', 'rpcbind', 'run-postinsts'] have failed. If the intention is to defer them to first boot,
then please place them into pkg_postinst_ontarget:${PN} ().
Deferring to first boot via 'exit 1' is no longer supported.
Details of the failure are in /srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/qa-extras2/build/build/tmp/work/qemux86_64-poky-linux/core-image-sato/1.0/temp/log.do_rootfs.

Can you have a look at these, please?

Thanks,
