Description david zuhn 2024-03-18 18:45:59 UTC 
I set my SSTATE_DIR to a value that contains an '=' character:

    SSTATE_DIR ?= "${TOPDIR}/sstate-cache=large"

When running a build (e.g., bitbake core-image-minimal), it crashes with the following:

  10:36:15   File "/home/dzuhn/work/yocto/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/runqueue.py", line 
  1316, in RunQueue._start_worker(mc='', fakeroot=True, rqexec=<bb.runqueue.RunQueueExecute object at 0x7fc948105710>):
  10:36:15                  env = os.environ.copy()
  10:36:15     >            for key, value in (var.split('=') for var in fakerootenv):
  10:36:15                      env[key] = value
  10:36:15 ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

A patch will be submitted shortly.
