Yocto Project Build Failure at do_rootfs Task

Yocto Project Build Failure at do_rootfs Task

*Description* : I'm working on a Yocto Project ( kirkistone) build for a Toradex Apalis i.MX8 target, creating a custom multimedia image. During the final build stage, specifically at the do_rootfs task, the process fails when trying to install several packages (such as alsa-utils , bluealsa , ffmpeg , etc.).

The error shows repeated instances of a configuration problem with unknown items SYSLOG_SU_ENAB and SYSLOG_SG_ENAB. Additionally, warnings indicate a missing or non-executable shell ( /bin/false ) when running useradd and groupadd commands for certain services (e.g., dbus , rpcbind , systemd ).

Re: [yocto] Yocto Project Build Failure at do_rootfs Task

[Gyorgy Sarvari]

The repeated logs about SYSLOG_SU_ENAB and SYSLOG_SG_ENAB don't fail the 
build[0]. Somewhere deep in the same logs there should be some extra 
info about the actual fatal error, that fails your build - grep the spam 
out.

[0] - these are poorly worded warnings/printouts, AFAICT mostly 
harmless(TM). In my understanding these messages are a side-effect of 
0001-Disable-use-of-syslog-for-sysroot.patch, which is applied on 
shadow-native in Kirkstone (but in later releases this patch was removed).
