I'm having trouble getting some overrides to work and would like
some ideas how to debug/troubleshoot.

I have this [layered] setup
   meta-targetA/
     packages/
       netbase/
         netbase_4.45.bbappend
         netbase-4.45/
           targetA/
             interfaces
Similarly for targetB.

My .bbappend file (identical in both trees) looks like this:

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   THISDIR := "${@os.path.dirname(bb.data.getVar('FILE', d, True))}"
   FILESPATH =. "${@base_set_filespath(["${THISDIR}/${PN}-${PV}"], d)}:"
   PACKAGE_ARCH = "${MACHINE_ARCH}"
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've traced through this with -DDD and on one target, I can see the
fetcher finding the files in my layer.  On a different target, it only
finds the files in the main meta/recipes-core/netbase tree

Any suggestions on where I look to understand what's going on?

Thanks
