Yocto kirkstone RDepends no providers found

Question

This is something I came across after Updating my yocto to Kirkstone, this was working fine prior to that.

The error is: do_package_qa: QA Issue: /something.sh contained in package testpackage requires /bin/bash, but no providers found in RDEPENDS:testpackage? [file-rdeps] which confuses me, as DEPENDS += " bash " RDEPENDS_${PN} += " bash " I do have bash in the RDEPENDS

I tried looking for the problem on stack overflow, found some semi related posts, whose solutions sadly did not apply to my problem. I tried installing bash before my testpackage.

Answer 1

RDEPENDS_${PN} is not a valid override syntax in Kirkstone anymore. It has changed to RDEPENDS:${PN}.
