Hi all,
I am trying to build an opie image but busybox fails.
I got this :

Any hint please ?

Cannot overwrite directory?
Sounds like a permission problem.
Did you build as root once?
Try to manually rm -rf
/home/users/asaya/Work/OpenEmbedded/OpenEmbedded-Dev1-mnt028/build/tmp/work/arm-linux/busybox-1.2.1-r1/image

No

Try to manually rm -rf
/home/users/asaya/Work/OpenEmbedded/OpenEmbedded-Dev1-mnt028/build/tmp/work/arm-linux/busybox-1.2.1-r1/image

It worked, I removed it the image directory.
I used to build opie successfully with the old openembedded database
(until monotone 0.25) and bitbake 1.3.X.
I don't know what's happening. I ls -l almost all busybox directories in
$HOME/Work/OpenEmbedded/OpenEmbedded-Dev1-mnt028/build/tmp/work/arm-linux/busybox-1.2.1-r1
and everything
seems to belong to me with the right mode.

It turns out that this line inside do_install function in
busybox_1.2.1.bb file is causing the trouble :
mv ${D}${base_bindir} ${D}${base_sbindir} ${D}${prefix} ${D}/busybox/

I replaced "mv" with "cp -a" and it works, does anyone object to that or
have a better fix ?

I have the same problem. I think that the installation routine of
busybox was slightly changed. The bin, sbin and usr directories already
exists in the busybox directory, so the above mv command will fail...

No It does not, I did that like thousand times and I got the same problem again and again.
replacing mv with cp -a fixed it.
