[poky] how to resolve the rpm "/bin/sh" file dependency?

[Lu, Lianhao]

Hi Guys,

I'm currently trying to make the meta-toolchain-sdk to work with both opkg and RPM, and met a RPM dependency problem. When I tried to install the packages defined in meta-toolchain-sdk.bb, the rpm complained about the following failing dependencies. Does anyone know how to solve this kind of "RPM file dependency error" without installing the busybox package which provides the file "/bin/sh"?

+ rpm --verbose --dbpath /var/lib/rpm '--define=_openall_before_chroot 1' -D '_dbpath home/lulianhao/poky-build/meta-toolchain/tmp/work/mips-poky-linux/meta-toolchain-sdk-1.0-r1/sdk/image//opt/poky/0.9+snapshot/sysroots/mips-poky-linux/install' -D '_solve_dbpath /home/lulianhao/poky-build/meta-toolchain/tmp/deploy/rpm/all/solvedb:/home/lulianhao/poky-build/meta-toolchain/tmp/deploy/rpm/mips/solvedb:/home/lulianhao/poky-build/meta-toolchain/tmp/deploy/rpm/qemumips/solved -D '__dbi_cdb create mp_mmapsize=128Mb mp_size=1Mb nofsync' -U --justdb --noscripts --notriggers --noparentdirs --nolinktos --ignoresize /home/lulianhao/poky-build/meta-toolchain/tmp/work/mips-poky-linux/meta-toolchain-sdk-1.0-r1/sdk/image//opt/poky/0.9+snapshot/sysroots/mips-poky-linux/install/install.manifest
