Description Gary Thomas 2011-09-27 19:23:26 UTC 
In my quest to test a minimal sstate cache, I tried a simple experiment where only
a few sstate components were available.  Sadly, this failed pretty badly, showing
that sstate still has some holes.

Attached will be the script I ran which builds a complete setup and then uses a
minimal subset of the sstate cache for a subsequent build which fails.
Also attached will be the console log running this script.

After a bit of investigation RP and I have come up with a fix; I've posted it to the bitbake-devel list for review:
