Yocto linux-imx fails to do_package with (Exception: FileExistsError: [Errno 17] File exists) error

[bitglitcher]

Dear NXP Support Team,

I'm currently trying to compile a custom Yocto layer on top of meta-imx. I'm getting the following errors during compilation. 

ERROR: linux-imx-5.15.32+gitAUTOINC+fa6c316859-r0 do_package: Error executing a python function in exec_func_python() autogenerated:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                The stack trace of python calls that resulted in this exception/failure was:                                                                                                                                      File: 'exec_func_python() autogenerated', lineno: 2, function: <module>                                                                                                                                                0001:                                                                                                                                                                                                         *** 0002:extend_recipe_sysroot(d)                                                                                                                                                                                     0003:                                                                                                                                                                                                        File: '/home/bherrera/winYocto5.15/sources/poky/meta/classes/staging.bbclass', lineno: 584, function: extend_recipe_sysroot                                                                                            0580:                    if "/bin/" in l or "/sbin/" in l:                                                                                                                                                        0581:                        #

The reciper-kernel files that I have are the same as in the meta-imx layer. The only difference is that in the recipes-kernel of my layer I have the following `linux-imx_%.bbappend` file.

FILESEXTRAPATHS:prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
SRC_URI:append = " file://imx8mq-itx-p-c444.dts"
SRC_URI:append = " file://imx8mq-itx-p-c444.dtsi"
SRC_URI:append = " file://imx8mq-itx-p-c444-lvds-auo.dts"

do_configure:append(){
    cp ${WORKDIR}/imx8mq-itx-p-c444.dts ${S}/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/
    cp ${WORKDIR}/imx8mq-itx-p-c444.dtsi ${S}/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/
    cp ${WORKDIR}/imx8mq-itx-p-c444-lvds-auo.dts ${S}/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/
    echo "dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_MXC) += imx8mq-itx-p-c444.dtb" >> ${S}/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/Makefile
    echo "dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_MXC) += imx8mq-itx-p-c444-lvds-auo.dts" >> ${S}/arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/Makefile
}

 I don't know what could be the issue. The task compiles just fine, it only fails during `do_package` phase.

Best regards,

Fixed it, I basically do a `bitbake -c do_cleanall linux-imx` and the issue was fixed when I tried to compile again.
