[yocto] recipe removing (some)contents of /etc

[Oliver]

Hello
I have the below's simple recipe(starting a script in sysV runlevel 2), but when I add it to the image with 
IMAGE_INSTALL += "canlogger"in my local.conf, most of the contents of /etc gets removed/overwritten making the system unbootable.

Does someone sees something wrong?
