[yocto] dnf causing build failure

[Larry Brown]

So I got the ${B} from the original openssh recipe so I'm not sure what
that variable equates to now.  But I changed to ${D} and had to change some
other aspects as well.  What I didn't understand is that the recipe is
installing the files into a folder (package folder) that is ultimately
packaged and then installed into the rootfs and that it is not installing
the files from a package folder into the rootfs directly by the script.  I
don't understand how the build system knows that the files in the install
directory need to be installed into the rootfs but I can only assume that
anything installed into a structure in the package directory will be
overlayed into the rootfs in the corresponding locations.  I'm guessing...

Well with the current layout working the DNF error went away.  Maybe it was
failing the file copy to begin with but quietly and only the DNF error was
displayed?  There is definitely a learning curve here...

Thanks so much,

Larry
