[yocto] Google Chrome recipe and systemd => how to satisfy runtime requirement for libudev.so.0?

[Timo Pulkkinen]

Hello,

i'm trying to create a recipe for Google Chrome for my first Yocto project for Intel NUC (based on the Chrome rpm package). The recipe seems to build ok, and I was able to
build a working system using sysvinit, but when I enabled systemd the image build stops during do_rootfs when requirement for libudev.so.0 is not satisfied. 

error: Can't install google-chrome-40.0.2214.91+1-r0 at x86_64: no package provides libudev.so.0()(64bit)

Google Chrome can use either systemd provided libudev.so.1 or udev provided libudev.so.0 (so either of them should satisfy the runtime dependency). I tried to create a symlink between
libudev.so.0 and libudev.so1 (as you can see in the recipe attached) but to no avail. Any suggestions on how I could satisfy this dependency 
during image building? Link between lib and lib64 was fairly easy to do but apparently libs are handled differently.

# Common variable and task for the binary package recipe.
# Basic principle:
# * The files have been unpacked to ${S} by base.bbclass
# * Skip do_configure and do_compile
# * Use do_install to install the files to ${D}
#
# Note:
# The "subdir" parameter in the SRC_URI is useful when the input package
# is rpm, ipk, deb and so on, for example:
#
# SRC_URI = "http://foo.com/foo-1.0-r1.i586.rpm;subdir=foo-1.0"
#
# Then the files would be unpacked to ${WORKDIR}/foo-1.0, otherwise
# they would be in ${WORKDIR}.
#

# Skip the unwanted steps
do_configure[noexec] = "1"
do_compile[noexec] = "1"

# Install the files to ${D}
do_install () {
        echo sdfs
