Re: [yocto] Issues with DEPENDS

All of this should work, but it's possible there's a simple mistake
somewhere. You need to verify every step from installation to
population of the sysroot:

1. For recipe B, are the needed files present in ${WORKDIR}/image?
2. For recipe B, are the needed files present in ${WORKDIR}/sysroot-destdir ?

(you might have to go several levels below these for reasons too
arcane to explain)

Essentially, I have two recipes, I will call them recipe A and recipe B; recipe A has a build time dependency on recipe B. To troubleshoot the issue, I've reduced recipe A and B to very contrived examples, but the issue still persists.
