LIN6-3757 : Package RDEPENDS variables missing package name component

Created: Jun 12, 2013    Updated: Mar 10, 2016
Resolved Date: Nov 12, 2013
Previous ID: LIN5-4998, LIN6-2996
Found In Version: 6.0
Fix Version: 6.0
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 6
Component/s: Userspace

Description

Customer noticed that the RPM file for the vsftpd package did not list the required dependencies. After investigating the bb file he discovered the RDEPENDS variable did not include the package name, i.e. it says this:

RDEPENDS += "${@base_contains('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'pam', 'pam-plugin-listfile', '', d)}"

However, according to the Yocto documentation all R* variables (RDEPENDS, RRECOMMENDS, etc) should include the package name as follows:

RDEPENDS_${PN} += "${@base_contains('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'pam', 'pam-plugin-listfile', '', d)}"

Fixing this resulted in the RPM file correctly indicating the required dependencies.

A quick scan through the various layers indicates that many packages have this problem.

Workaround

Edit the bb files to add the _${PN} component.

Steps to Reproduce

1. configure a project, extracting all layers
2. A simple grep as follows indicates many RDEPENDS exist without the package name:

$ find . -name '*\.bb*' -exec grep "RDEPENDS " {} \; -print
