Thanks, that was a good help.
There was no solvedb dir.
My machine.conf file was missing
PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS = "armv4 armv4t armv5te"
(maybe the omission of this var could be considered as an error).

But that almost immediately brought me to the next issue:
rpm and zypper install fine, but I get an eglibc error
| error: Failed dependencies:
| 	eglibc >= 2.12 is needed by sysvinit-2.88dsf-r1.armv5te

and I do not see an eglibc package (but I do have
eglibc-pic-2.12-r12.armv5te.rpm as well as quite a lot of subpackages,

eg.
manifest:/home/frans/poky/poky/build/tmp/deploy/rpm/armv5te/eglibc-gconv-hp-greek8-2.12-r12.armv5te.rpm

Guess it'll be tomorrow before I get to that.
