AssertionError: False is not true : 
The following packages failed upstream version checks. Please fix them using UPSTREAM_CHECK_URI/UPSTREAM_CHECK_REGEX
(when using tarballs) or UPSTREAM_CHECK_GITTAGREGEX (when using git). If an upstream version check cannot be performed
(for example, if upstream does not use git tags), you can add the package to list of exceptions in
meta-selftest/files/distrodata/checkpkg_exceptions.

Comment 1 Joshua Lock 2017-08-17 14:39:09 UTC 
We have bug #11848 in place to move this test out of the default oe-selftest invocations on the Yocto Autobuilder. The reason we're doing that is that we constantly see these kind of failures which appear to be transient, or at least don't fail consistently (the set of failing recipes is inconsistent).
