You had an invalid configuration which is not supported. The whole idea
of that setting is so that build directories which were built with
layout "7", which is OEBasic layout get a message if they update to
after the OEBasicHash change so that they either rebuild the tmp
directory, or they revert to a commit which doesn't have the change.
