Submitting this to track this issue. license.bbclass has issues with sstate and with creating a manifest. It needs a refactor to do all of this after do_rootfs. It's a known issue and should be done next week.
Assigning to me so I can keep people up to date on this.
Marking as dup of 1776. Tracking will be done there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1776 ***
