Description Tim Orling 2023-09-30 23:43:51 UTC 
Example:
https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/updates/37986/

ERROR: Dependency meta-yocto of layer meta-toradex-demos does not have branch record for branch master

Likely this is because in the layerindex database, both meta-yocto and meta-poky have BBFILE_COLLECTIONS += "yocto"? The latest should win.

The code in question is:

Comment 1 Tim Orling 2023-09-30 23:46:46 UTC 
Other layer:branches are also reporting this error:

meta-toradex-demos dunfell
meta-toradex-demos master
meta-fsl-demos master
Comment 2 Tim Orling 2023-10-13 19:02:10 UTC 
The same behavior can be seen for BBFILE_COLLECTIONS = 'xilinx' between the original meta-xilinx and the current meta-xilinx-core layers.
