do_populate_lic dependencies are defined inside license.bbclass such as: addtask populate_lic after do_patch before do_build but externalsrc deletes the do_patch task, so the only dependency left for do_populate_lic is "before do_build" On a devtool context, when doing devtool modify, sources are extracted inside build/workspace/sources/${BPN}/ and local files inside build/workspace/sources/${BPN}/oe-local-files When building the recipe after a devtool modify, do_unpack is called again to unpack (possibly modified) local files from build/workspace/sources/${BPN}/oe-local-files into ${WORKDIR}. Since the only left dependency for do_populate_lic is do_build, the do_populate_lic can be called BEFORE do_unpack. Most of the time this is not a problem, because license files are generally located inside ${S}, which corresponds to build/workspace/sources/${BPN} (and is already unpacked), but this can lead to an issue if recipe sets LIC_FILES_CHKSUM to look for files in ${WORKDIR} (example from init-ifupdown_1.0.bb): LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://${WORKDIR}/copyright;md5=3dd6192d306f582dee7687da3d8748ab" So devtool modify init-ifupdown && bitbake init-ifupdown gives the following error: WARNING: init-ifupdown-1.0-r0 do_populate_lic: Could not copy license file <...>/build/tmp/work/qemux86_64-poky-linux/init-ifupdown/1.0/copyright to <...>/build/tmp/work/qemux86_64-poky-linux/init-ifupdown/1.0/license-destdir/qemux86_64/init-ifupdown/copyright: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '<...>/build/tmp/work/qemux86_64-poky-linux/init-ifupdown/1.0/copyright' ERROR: init-ifupdown-1.0-r0 do_populate_lic: QA Issue: init-ifupdown: LIC_FILES_CHKSUM points to an invalid file: <...>/build/tmp/work/qemux86_64-poky-linux/init-ifupdown/1.0/copyright [license-checksum] ERROR: init-ifupdown-1.0-r0 do_populate_lic: Fatal QA errors were found, failing task.
