Yocto Project Build Failure at do_rootfs Task

[taabouri]

Description: I'm working on a Yocto Project ( kirkistone) build for a Toradex Apalis i.MX8 target, creating a custom multimedia image. During the final build stage, specifically at the do_rootfs task, the process fails when trying to install several packages (such as alsa-utils, bluealsa, ffmpeg, etc.).

The error shows repeated instances of a configuration problem with unknown items SYSLOG_SU_ENAB and SYSLOG_SG_ENAB. Additionally, warnings indicate a missing or non-executable shell (/bin/false) when running useradd and groupadd commands for certain services (e.g., dbus, rpcbind, systemd).

Hello,

Please try to remove your build and re-build it.

Also, please check if there is no an issue with those packages in Toradex BSP.

Best regards.
