Description Gary Thomas 2010-11-24 04:35:30 UTC 
bitbake package-index no longer works.  In fact, the do_build() step (which is where all the work happens) doesn't even seem to be called.

A workaround is to build some image with a root file system that forces the package databases to be updated, but this is very clunky overkill.
