Please double check. That patch does things like:

Index: trunk/libopkg/pkg.c

      }
 
and these are clearly showing up as ERRORs above. This means that:

a) offline_root isn't set (extremely unlikely for do_rootfs to work)
b) the patch isn't applied

I have my doubts about this, sorry...

Looking at fsogsmd, that specific packages split doesn't really make
sense. fsogsmd depends on fsogsmd-connman and fsogsmd-connman depends on
fsogsmd. This means that both or neither can be installed but never
either of them singly so the split is just a waste of space.

I agree we need to improve that patch to detect loops but I'm not sure a
warning makes sense as we can't tell the difference between a case where
we don't care and a case where the resulting image is corrupt...

Cheers,

Richard
