I was able to compile a 'core-image-minimal' on 08/23/12 without any issues. On 08/25 however, I came across the following issue for the same (bitbake core-image-minimal)<br><br>ERROR: Function failed: Unpack failure for URL: '<a href="http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/Python-2.7.3.tar.bz2">http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/Python-2.7.3.tar.bz2</a>'.

| DEBUG: Python function base_do_unpack finished<br>| DEBUG: Python function do_unpack finished<br><br>The bzip2-native binary files (including appropriate symlinks) were present under tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/bzip2-native, but were all empty! I was able to copy my /bin/bz* to /tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/bzip2-native and move on. Don't know much about bzip2-native, but bitbake bzip2-native had no effect. Both my installs were performed from scratch on identical ubuntu 12.04 installs. The oe-core sources were cloned from gibhub. One on 08/23 and another on 08/25. There was a checkin reference to bzip2-native for <a href="http://python-native_2.7.3.bb">python-native_2.7.3.bb</a> about a month back according to github. <br>
<br>Can anyone shed any light on why bzip tools were not compiled or installed properly? What could've changed during these two days? I did a `find . | grep bzip2-native` and saw some references to a folder bzip2-native-1.0.6-r5. However, I could not find any references to <a href="http://bzip2-full-native_1.0.6.bb">bzip2-full-native_1.0.6.bb</a> or <a href="http://bzip2-native_1.0.6.bb">bzip2-native_1.0.6.bb</a>. Now I'm scratching my head and thinking where did this package come from in the first place? Any help appreciated!<br>
<br>Thanks<br>Sriram <br>
