This is the commit that caused it:

https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/meta/classes/image.bbclass?id=9463be2292b942a1072eea88881b9644e55aadb9&h=master


Go here to understand why this is happening:

https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/lib/oe/package_manager/__init__.py?8e7128b19588d9b7d5ddfab2277a0a0d79bc63ce#n173

The error occurs because of the copyfile on line 192. It is attempting to
change the ownership of a file to the root user, but this fails because of
the above commit that adds intercept_scripts to PSEUDO_IGNORE_PATHS means
the chown happens outside of the pseudo functionality.


Add this to your image recipe _after_ the core-image is imported to work around the problem.

python () {
    pseudo_ignore_paths = d.getVar('PSEUDO_IGNORE_PATHS')
    result = ','.join([x for x in pseudo_ignore_paths.split(',') if "intercept_scripts" not in x])
    d.setVar('PSEUDO_IGNORE_PATHS', result)
}
