[OE-core] Bug report: util-linux: circular dependencies occurs when enable systemd in PACKAGECONFIG

[Hongzhi, Song]

Hi,


Some DISTRO_FEATURES related to systemd have been enabled in local.conf

     DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " systemd"
     DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED += "sysvinit"
     VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"
     VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts = "systemd-compat-units"
     KERNEL_FEATURES_append = " cfg/systemd.scc"


1.

meta/recipes-core/util-linux/util-linux.inc has below codes:

(

PACKAGECONFIG[systemd] = "--with-systemd 
--with-systemdsystemunitdir=${systemd_system_unitdir}, --without-systemd 
--without-systemdsystemunitdir,systemd"

BBCLASSEXTEND = "native nativesdk"

)


2.

Now I want to enable systemd feature, then I add below code to 
util-linux.inc:

(

PACKAGECONFIG_class-target += " systemd"

)


3.

Then bitbake util-linux

You will below errors:(I just cut out a bit)

These are usually caused by circular dependencies and any circular 
dependency chains found will be printed below. Increase the debug level 
to see a list of unbuildable tasks.

Identifying dependency loops (this may take a short while)...

ERROR:

4. I tried some other code:

PACKAGECONFIG[systemd] = "--with-systemd 
--with-systemdsystemunitdir=${systemd_system_unitdir}, --without-systemd 
--without-systemdsystemunitdir,systemd"

 >> PACKAGECONFIG[systemd] = "--with-systemd 
--with-systemdsystemunitdir=${systemd_system_unitdir}, --without-systemd 
--without-systemdsystemunitdir"


or PACKAGECONFIG_append += " systemd"


There are still other errors.


Best Regard,
