busybox: fix upgrade problem with deb packages
PATCH 1/1 busybox: fix upgrade problem with deb packages
Busybox prerm scripts create temp directory and fill with symlinks to common utilities in order to upgrade itself, PATH is exported but dpkg didn't take a look of this links and fails.
In order to fix,
Changed temp directory to /usr/loca/bin in debian packages. Added missing links for utilities tar, find, tail, cut.
Busybox syslog prerm script tries to stop the daemon but if already stopped returns 1 then causes that dpkg fails because it expects 0.
In order to fix,
Added workaround to exit 0 in debian packages.

please don't overwrite files in /usr/local/bin! People may have their own tools there.
This, and the creation of these symlinks in a tmpdir in the first place, looks wrong to me.
I think you'd better get rid of update-alternatives-cworth and use an implementation written in C.
See
http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=obi/dora
for many dpkg-related fixes including an offline-capable version of dpkg's update-alternatives. I couldn't test these with master, but this branch contains most if not all patches to dpkg backported from master to dora.
Regards,
Andreas

HI Andreas,
I reviewed the patches and looks good, only i have a comment in this file,
I didn't know if the same apply for rpm and ipk.
There are a lot of patches, Do you have a plan to port them to master?
I can help with that.
Best regards.

I guess so. I'm pretty certain that opkg behaves just like dpkg in this regard. I never used rpm, though.
To reproduce the problem, boot an image containing busybox, but not bash. Then install bash and deinstall it again. Deinstallation fails, resulting in a dangling symlink (/bin/sh -> /bin/bash).

I'd like to, but I won't have time to do any testing with master during the next weeks. I could rebase my patches onto master and provide a tree for you to test. Or you could cherry-pick whatever patches you like and submit them to the mailing list after testing. Most patches should apply without changes, but those touching rootfs_deb.bbclass and package_deb.bbclass will need some porting. What do you think?

Andreas,
Now i'm testing dpkg-ua changes, my first impressions are,
Some work in order to use dpkg-ua version instead of opkg-utils (default), files meta/conf/layer.con and meta/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-self-hosted.bb.
Currently isn't created symlinks for tools in target image.
Comments?

Sounds like this problem:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openembedded.core/47626
Did update-alternatives get staged correctly into your native sysroot?
If opkg-utils-native was built after dpkg-native, it may have overwritten update-alternatives. To avoid this I've put the following into my local.conf:
INHERIT += "blacklist"
PNBLACKLIST[opkg-utils-native] = "opkg-utils-native must not be built when using debian packages"
I'm not sure whether this may cause a similar effect.
Regards,
Andreas
