I'm attempting to create a Bitbake recipe which will install Oracle JRE 8 onto my target OS.
I've tried to use metadata from meta-oracle-java, but had some difficulties due to one of the .inc files which are provided for general JREs has a JRE-7-specific URI.
I've changed some of the metadata from meta-oracle-java and created my own recipe to do this install.
When building the recipe by itself:
bitbake oracle-jse-jre
The build completes without error. I've added a dependency on libav into the oracle-jse-jre recipe, so I can do the following from TMPDIR:
$ find . -name libavformat*so
./work/core2-64-poky-linux/libav/9.18-r0/sysroot-destdir/usr/lib/libavformat.so.54.20.4
./work/core2-64-poky-linux/libav/9.18-r0/sysroot-destdir/usr/lib/libavformat.so
./work/core2-64-poky-linux/libav/9.18-r0/sysroot-destdir/usr/lib/libavformat.so.54
./sysroots/genericx86-64/usr/lib/libavformat.so.54.20.4
./sysroots/genericx86-64/usr/lib/libavformat.so
./sysroots/genericx86-64/usr/lib/libavformat.so.54
If I add the default package from the oracle-jse-jre recipe to RDEPENDS_${PN} of another recipe xenoros_0.1.bb, I can run bitbake xenoros and build without errors.
If I add xenoros to the IMAGE_INSTALL variable of a core-image-xenoros, the build fails with the following error:

Looking inside TMPDIR, I can find this:
/sysroots/genericx86-64/usr/lib/libavformat.so.54
It seems there's a version mismatch, where smart expects version 53, but 54 is provided.
libav's versionJust to test what's going on, I've made a recipe which fetches version 0.8.17 of libav (which uses version 53). When using this instead of 9.18, I have the exact opposite problem, that smart expects but can't find version 54.
1) It's not smart, but rather rpmbuild, that is adding dependencies derived from the ELF DT_NEEDED field (see elfutils -a).
2) The do_rootfs() task is failing because of unresolved dependencies.
3) Since you are using Poky/Yocto and rpm5, there is a simple way to mask the issue (substituting whatever dependencies are causing you heartburn)
echo "unresoved_dependency" > /etc/rpm/sysinfo/Providename
That is just a band-aid; you still need to figure out the packaging issues rather than masking the underlying problem with how you are building rpm packages.
