I traced back and I see the gio-querymodules call is inserted in the postrm by
gio-module-class.bbclass. Based on the commit notes, the postrm and postinst
steps are an optimization and are not required to succeed. Therefore I'd argue
this should fail gracefully; just because we haven't yet seen this fail during
minor upgrade attempts doesn't mean it can't. I'd propose changing the line:
${libexecdir}/${MLPREFIX}gio-querymodules ${libdir}/gio/modules/
in gio-module-cache.bbclass to:
${libexecdir}/${MLPREFIX}gio-querymodules ${libdir}/gio/modules/ || true
I tested this change and it fixed my upgrade issue. I still saw the error
message but libglib-2.0 completed its upgrade successfully. If you don't see
any issues with this change, I'll send a patch out later today.
Thanks,
Bryan
