How to remove APT and DPKG from yocto build

[JJimé.2]

Hello,

We are using st-image-core from recipes-st in yocto and I'm removing some packages from the build that we don't really need. While going through the list, I have found that apt and dpkg are being built and I would like to remove them from my image.

I have tried using SKIP_RECIPE[apt] and SKIP_RECIPE[dpkg] in the local.conf file, but all I get is an error saying they are dependencies:

ERROR: Required build target 'st-image-core' has no buildable providers.
Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['st-image-core', 'apt']

ERROR: Required build target 'st-image-core' has no buildable providers.
Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['st-image-core', 'dpkg']

I have been digging through the recipes and I couldn't find the dependency for those two packages. Is there any way to remove them from the image?

Thank you.

Hi @Jesús Jiménez Sánchez​ ,

Sorry your post didn't get an answer earlier.

I have no straightforward answer but let me know if you succeed to manage or still stuck.

In that case I would analyze this further.
