[yocto] How to avoid a including a package in the rootfs

[B, Karthik]

Hi,
I am trying to build an Upgrade package which basically has some shell scripts as executables. But I don't want them included in the rootfs, instead I will place them over the air when a upgrade is required. Below is the .bb file which I have written for achieving the same.

SECTION = "MINE"
LICENSE = "MINE"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://${COMMON_LICENSE_DIR}/MINE;md5=02598586d9274e819091ab3ade64d910"
UTILS_PATH=""

SRC_URI += "file://upgrade.sh \
"

do_fetch(){
        #do nothing
        echo "do_fetch"
}

do_configure(){
        #do nothing
        echo "do_configure"
}

do_compile(){
        #do nothing
        echo "do_compile"
}

do_install() {
        install -d ${WORKDIR}/utils
        install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/upgrade_verify_file.sh ${WORKDIR}/utils
        tar -czf upgradeUtils.tgz -C ${WORKDIR} utils
        cp ${WORKDIR}/upgradeutils-0.1/upgradeUtils.tgz ${TOPDIR}
}

FILES_${PN} += "${WORKDIR}/utils \
"

But while executing  "bitbake core-image-base", I am getting the following error.

ERROR: core-image-base-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Could not invoke dnf.

Is this error because the rootfs is searching for upgradeutils for including it in the rootfs ? If so, how I can avoid that ?

Thank you for your valuable time.
