[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 1/1] providers.py: print a debug message for dynamic pacakge

[Robert Yang]

We can't know the dynamic pacakge's name exactly, there might be a
problem, for example, when we use:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append += "ncurses-lib12344"

The ncurses-lib12344 matches ncurses' dynamic packages pattern:

PACKAGES_DYNAMIC = "^${PN}-lib.*"

so there is no errors before the rootfs creation though there is no
ncurses-lib12344.

We can warn this, but I think that we'd better not since there are many
dynamic packages, or there would be too many warnings, for example, the
perl and kernel modules, maybe we can print a debug message for it.
