Hi Community,

My bitbake build failed at the last step with the following error Logs, which mentioned the “…/rootfs/packages/” folder is missing during “update_mime_database”. Any idea to solve it?

My build is under Ubuntu 20.04 :

verdin_imx8mp-tdx-linux/tdx-reference-minimal-image/1.0-r0

My build/bitbake command:

repo init -u https://git.toradex.com/toradex-manifest.git -b dunfell-5.x.y -m tdxref/default.xml
bitbake tdx-reference-minimal-image

As I checked the “rootfs” folder, there is no/missing “packages” inside:

builder@jeffreyx:/dockervolume/oe-core/build/tmp/work/verdin_imx8mp-tdx-linux/tdx-reference-minimal-image/1.0-r0/rootfs$ ls
bin  boot  dev  etc  home  lib  media  mnt  proc  run  sbin  sys  tmp  usr  var

I found a solution: Copy codes from “mime.bbclass” to “update_mime_database”.

In the file “layers/openembedded-core/meta/classes/mime.bbclass”, someone left a workaround note:

        # $D${MIMEDIR}/packages belong to package shared-mime-info-data,
        # packages like libfm-mime depend on shared-mime-info-data.
        # after shared-mime-info-data uninstalled, $D${MIMEDIR}/packages
        # is removed, but update-mime-database need this dir to update
        # database, workaround to create one and remove it later
        if [ ! -d $D${MIMEDIR}/packages ]; then
                mkdir -p $D${MIMEDIR}/packages
                update-mime-database $D${MIMEDIR}
                rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty $D${MIMEDIR}/packages
        else
                update-mime-database $D${MIMEDIR}

So copy this whole segment to the file “layers/openembedded-core/scripts/postinst-intercepts/update_mime_database” , and replace the capital MIMEDIR to lower case mimedir

Problem solved.
