I tried your suggest, but I still get the error:

"The recipe base-files-emperor is trying to install files into a shared area when those files already exist." error

With base-files-emperor.bb containing:

PROVIDES += "initscripts"
RPROVIDES_${PN} += "initscripts"

What am I still doing wrong?

(I'll try to re-build after wiping the tmp directory tonight. A simple "bitbake -c cleanall initscripts base-files-emperor" didn't help.)
