Description Ross Burton 2019-12-20 13:14:45 UTC 
AUH sent me a mail saying that the acpica auto-upgrade failed.  This failed because it decided to do the upgrade on qemumips, but acpica isn't compatible with that machine.

ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'acpica'
acpica was skipped: incompatible with host mips-poky-linux (not in COMPATIBLE_HOST)

The recipe has:

COMPATIBLE_HOST = "(i.86|x86_64|arm|aarch64).*-linux"

I guess AUH could look at bitbake output here; using 'bitbake -e' to actually look into COMPATIBLE_HOST/MACHINE values vs. target is not possible as 'bitbake -e' fails similarly.
