What happened here was that MACHINE=qemux86-64 bitbake <image> then MACHINE=genericx86-64 bitbake <image> which meant construction of a new sysroot and hence new packages were extracted.

The xinit-dev package in tmp/deploy/rpm/core2_64 does have the checksum "3507e75977c85ca9f6c69fa95c6511a04ed1aa22" which is the checksum of the package that was installed in do_package_write_rpm_setscene. This is most likely from a different sstate artefact that the original do_package_write_rpm generated.

I instrumented /tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/share/createrepo/readMetadata.py and the filesize and mtime of the package in the deploy directory match those listed in repodata, hence its not updating its cache.

It seems unlikely this package would be generated at *exactly* the same second on two different ABs, resulting in two sstate artefacts with the same size and mtime but different checksums. Right now this is the only way I could explain this error though.
