Thanks! This makes sense, as I see this dependency is established in
the first few lines of qt4e.bbclass.

My IMAGE_INSTALL looks very similar to what you've shown there, which
I based upon what I saw in core-image-minimal. I see that I still have
a task-core-boot lying around, so I need to change that a
packagegroup-core-boot. (IIRC, packagegroup-core-boot PROVIDES
task-core-boot for the time being...)

IMAGE_INSTALL = "
  task-core-boot \
  my_qt_app \
  a_few_unrelated_recipes_that_don't_use_qt \
  ${ROOTFS_PKGMANAGE_BOOTSTRAP} \
  ${CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL} \
"

I checked the package list on a running system (opkg list | grep -i
qt). Here's all the installed Qt packages...no qt4-embedded-examples
as far as I see.

libqtcoree4 - 4.8.3-r50.0
libqtdeclarativee4 - 4.8.3-r50.0
libqtguie4 - 4.8.3-r50.0
libqtnetworke4 - 4.8.3-r50.0
libqtscripte4 - 4.8.3-r50.0
libqtsqle4 - 4.8.3-r50.0

Seems strange to me...any thoughts?

Thank you for your time and help!
