Description Ross Burton 2013-09-12 12:02:41 UTC 
Not entirely sure this was the cause, but it was involved.

I used DISTRO_FEATURES_remove="opengl" in my local.conf and did some builds.  Then I commented out that line from my local.conf, did wipe-sysroot, and tried to build mesa:

$ bitbake mesa
...
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'mesa'
ERROR: mesa was skipped: missing required distro feature ['opengl'] (not in DISTRO_FEATURES)

Doing "bitbake zlib -e" confirmed that DISTRO_FEATURES did in fact have opengl in, and removing tmp/cache/ resolved the problem.
