[OE-core] [PATCH 1/4] adt-installer: fix package installation issue

[Zhang, Jessica]

Hi Laurentiu,

Why this is only an issue for installation to a directory other than the default e.g. /opt/poky ?

Thanks,
Jessica

Subject: [OE-core] [PATCH 1/4] adt-installer: fix package installation issue

When the cross canadian toolchains are installed, for different architectures, they might contain common files. This leads to installation failures since the opkg, by default, does not overwrite files. This issue happens, for example, for binutils packages (that contain the same locale files) or gdb (which installs some syscalls xml files). The locale files could be removed from the binutils cross-canadian package but we cannot do the same for the syscalls GDB files which are used by GDB to display user friendly names for the syscall numbers. Hence, the best solution is to force opkg to overwrite these files.
