Hi,

I found out that one of the packages in Yocto is unwanted, and wish to completely uninstall the package.

 

The question is how to completely uninstall the pre-installed package in Yocto. Thanks

FYI, I am new in building and compiling Yocto image.

 

 

Howdy!

In contrast to a general purpose distribution where you have little
control over the default set, there is no need to install anything you
do not want. So the correct solution is: do not install that package.

Even moreso, removing it later might be impossible if the image
doesn't have package management enabled.

This is what I did. I ran the following:

bitbake <image> -e |grep -v ^# |grep "^DISTRO_FEATURES=\|^IMAGE_FEATURES="

Found out the DISTRO_FEATURES and IMAGE_FEATURES. Thne used DISTRO_FEATURES_remove in the local.conf to remove the features that I do not need. Hope this helps.

What I did was. I ran the following:

bitbake <image> -e |grep -v ^# |grep "^DISTRO_FEATURES=\|^IMAGE_FEATURES="

Then used DISTRO_FEATURES_remove in local.conf to remove the unwanted packages.
