Hi all,<div><br></div><div>In trying to build core-image-basic for qemuarm, I ran into an error: <span style="line-height:21px;font-size:12px;font-family:Consolas,Menlo,Monaco,'Lucida Console','Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono',monospace,serif">extract_archive: Cannot create symlink from .</span><span style="line-height:21px;font-size:12px;font-family:Consolas,Menlo,Monaco,'Lucida Console','Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono',monospace,serif;font-weight:bold">/</span><span style="line-height:21px;font-size:12px;font-family:Consolas,Menlo,Monaco,'Lucida Console','Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono',monospace,serif">var</span><span style="line-height:21px;font-size:12px;font-family:Consolas,Menlo,Monaco,'Lucida Console','Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono',monospace,serif;font-weight:bold">/</span><span style="line-height:21px;font-size:12px;font-family:Consolas,Menlo,Monaco,'Lucida Console','Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono',monospace,serif">run to </span><span style="line-height:21px;color:rgb(255,0,0);font-size:12px;font-family:Consolas,Menlo,Monaco,'Lucida Console','Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono',monospace,serif">'volatile/run'</span><span style="line-height:21px;font-size:12px;font-family:Consolas,Menlo,Monaco,'Lucida Console','Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono',monospace,serif">: File exists.</span></div>
<br>(The full error message is posted here: <a href="http://pastebin.com/QPic3uHx" target="_blank">http://pastebin.com/QPic3uHx</a> )<div><div><br></div><div>Though this seems very similar to a post from a few months ago, I am not sure how to go about debugging it: <a href="http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-devel/2011-October/035409.html" target="_blank">http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-devel/2011-October/035409.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Can other folks build core-image-basic successfully? Any suggestions about how to determine which recipe is attempting to make the symlink?</div><div><br></div><div>From what I can tell, the culprits could be meta/files/fs-perms.txt or meta/recipes-core/base-files/<a href="http://base-files_3.0.14.bb">base-files_3.0.14.bb</a>, but I'm not sure where to go from there. If it helps, I am able to build core-image-minimal successfully.</div>
