Hello,

I tried to follow the steps listed here to build my distro. I am trying to build it for Qt 6.8.3 using this manifest as a base [https://code.qt.io/cgit/yocto/boot2qt-manifest.git/tree/toradex/v6.8.3.xml](https://code.qt.io/cgit/yocto/boot2qt-manifest.git/tree/toradex/v6.8.3.xml). I am also adding my own meta-layer add some changes. But I am getting this error throughout the build

```auto

Hi @Romain.Donze,

The error message tells you how to fix it:

```auto
Please set FILES such that these items are packaged. Alternatively if they are unneeded, avoid installing them or delete them within do_install.

```

I don’t know the ins and outs of a boot2qt build, and which peculiarities it brings, but generally speaking those files seem to originate in the [util-linux recipe](https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/recipes-core/util-linux/util-linux_2.37.4.bb?h=kirkstone#n148). So a very first stab would be finding out if something appends to that recipe and possibly introduces the error.

Greetz,
