Lots of false positive are happening for files located in staging directory when building, even when building from scratch e.g. : Warning: staging file "./usr/lib/libnl-route-3.la" is touched by more than one package: [u'libnl', u'json-c', u'ncurses', u'readline', u'lvm2', u'popt', u'util-linux', u'cryptsetup', u'expat', u'dbus', u'e2fsprogs', u'kmod', u'eudev', u'libpng', u'freetype', u'libopenssl', u'ffmpeg', u'giflib', u'graphite2', u'icu', u'libffi', u'pcre', u'libglib2', u'harfbuzz', u'jpeg-turbo', u'json-glib', u'libcap', u'libcurl', u'libexif', u'libmng', u'libnspr', u'sqlite', u'libnss', u'libogg', u'pciutils', u'tremor', u'webp', u'wpa_supplicant', u'CUnit']
The following patch avoids the false positive warnings regarding .la files: diff --git a/package/pkg-generic.mk b/package/pkg-generic.mk index a689dde4d2..110f8ee4a5 100644 --- a/package/pkg-generic.mk +++ b/package/pkg-generic.mk @@ -276,7 +276,8 @@ $(BUILD_DIR)/%/.stamp_staging_installed: $(addprefix $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/,$($(PKG)_CONFIG_SCRIPTS)) ;\ fi @$(call MESSAGE,"Fixing libtool files") - $(Q)find $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib* -name "*.la" | xargs --no-run-if-empty \ + $(Q)for lafile in $$(find $(@D) -name *.la -exec basename {} \; | sort -u); do \ + ls $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib*/$${lafile}; done | xargs --no-run-if-empty \ $(SED) "s:$(BASE_DIR):@BASE_DIR@:g" \ -e "s:$(STAGING_DIR):@STAGING_DIR@:g" \ $(if $(TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_INSTALL_DIR),\
