           Summary: image.bbclass should run package pre- and postinstall
                    routines in package dependency order
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: org.openembedded.dev
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: unspecified
        AssignedTo: openembedded-commits at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: wolfgang.hauser.external at eads.com


At the time, the package pre- and postinstalls are executed in alphabetic order
by searching the path ../usr/lib/opkg/info/ for *.preinst/*.postinst.

This may cause problems if one of the install scripts need some data from a
package it depends on.

It may be better to resolve the dependency chain and use this list to run the
pre- and postinstall routines of the packages in order of dependency.

It may be possible to create this dependency list by using opkg whatdepends -A
<package>.
