Hi Ross,

We don't have a ptest set in DISTRO_FEATURE so if that is the only way
to pull in ptest I would say that is the reason for us at least on why
there are so many bash dependencies.
One recipe that I am looking into right now is util-linux which does
have package util-linux-bash-completion but even the package
util-linux seems to depend on bash and bash-completion when
checking the dependencies by running bitbake -g util-linux and bitbake
-g <image>. It is not clear why the package util-linux depends on bash
and bash-completion. I have other recipes where it is also
not obvious to me why they have a dependency to bash and
bash-completion. One such recipe is a recipe that we have created and
the only content in the package produced is a script and the script
only has #!/bin/sh so not sure where this bash and bash-completion
comes from it is not something we have added so maybe we have some
underlying issue here that results in so many dependencies to
bash and bash-completion. We have not set up this system ourselves,
instead one of the HW suppliers starting with a Q ending with COMM
which I must say I am not that impressed with has supplied the
base that we are building on.

Thanks for your help anyway.
