Comment (by bonefish):
That has to do with `package_repo`. If a different directory is given via
"-C", it [http://cgit.haiku-
os.org/haiku/tree/src/bin/package_repo/command_create.cpp?id=8068b64b5c33e0c8bd6d3fcabfd3ebac3a422d2b#n203
changes the working directory] before interpreting the given package file
paths, which in this case are relative ones. I'm not sure, if that is a
bug or a feature. It doesn't seem like any other path is interpreted in
the context of the changed current working directory, so it might be a
feature and the "-C ..." can be omitted in [http://cgit.haiku-
os.org/haiku/tree/build/scripts/build_haiku_repository?id=8068b64b5c33e0c8bd6d3fcabfd3ebac3a422d2b#n40
build/scripts/build_haiku_repository]. But the command line option may as
well just be a copy and paste left-over from the `package` command and
isn't really needed for `package_repo`. Maybe Oliver has a clue.
At any rate, the error message isn't particularly helpful. It stems from
[http://cgit.haiku-
os.org/haiku/tree/src/kits/package/hpkg/RepositoryWriterImpl.cpp?id=8068b64b5c33e0c8bd6d3fcabfd3ebac3a422d2b#n328
RepositoryWriterImpl::_AddPackage()], where we only know the invalid
`BEntry`. A check and a better error message should be added [http://cgit
.haiku-
os.org/haiku/tree/src/bin/package_repo/command_create.cpp?id=8068b64b5c33e0c8bd6d3fcabfd3ebac3a422d2b#n216
where the BEntry is initialized].
