[yocto] RDEPENDS on package does not include package in rootfs

[Dr. Matthias Schöpfer]

Hi yocto community!

Here is my problem, maybe I misunderstood something. I have a library
recipe, lets name it foo, that DEPENDS on mosquitto from
meta-intel-iot-middleware. I added a RDEPENDS_${PN} += " libmosquitto1
", as the mosquitto package adds this extra package for the mosquitto
library, that library foo depends on. Then I have my app "bar", that
depends on "foo". "bar" is added to the image recipe. The rootfs is
missing out the package libmosquitto1, and therefore missing the
mosquitto library. Workaround is to add libmosquitto explicitly to the
Image recipe, but as I understand, this should not me necessary.

Thanks in advance,

    Matthias
