After much research, I found that this is happening because I have MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS="virtual/bootloader linux-firmware-iwlwifi-5xxx" If I remove the 'virtual/bootloader' from MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS, the confusion (and error) go away. Any ideas what's happening and why I might be getting this confusing error?
