[oe-users] ERROR: function do_stage failed

[Yang]

The problem seems to have gone away by itself after I wiped out the
tmp and sources directories (thus re-grabbing all the packages).

Why was glibc 2.6 being pulled when generic.conf has the following line?

PREFERRED_VERSION_glibc ?= "2.5"

What does the ?= mean?

BTW, is Angstrom substantially larger than generic? We currently are
trying to produce a tiny distro, at under 5MB.

Michal, the soekris machine config is our own. Following this message
is the paste.

Thanks for any answers,

Yang
