issue you

| 	Both tzdata and tzdata-dbg are providing tzdata and at least my
version of
| 	ipkg preferred tzdata-dbg over tzdata. The result is that you don't
have the
| 	standard zoneinfo information for cities like New_York.

If the depchains aren't broken you also end up with $libc-dbg,
libgcc-dbg etc, if this were a library package. See
http://dominion.thruhere.net/koen/cms/the-testlab-strikes-again for
details on that.

case, I

| for "tzdata-dbg" is not enough.

Change RPROVIDES = "foo" to RPROVIDES_${PN} and bump PR. Every R*
variable works on _every_ package, while most people want it to work on
${PN}.

| tzdata and at one point be removed. I have a fix in the OpenMoko OE
tree and
| will do one for OE.dev now.

| PS: Do we have a policy for such kind of bugs?

Yes: Change RPROVIDES = "foo" to RPROVIDES_<package> and bump PR.

regards,

Koen
