Hi,

I am trying to get "bitbake world" operational again (boy, our meta-data 
is rotten!).  One thing I have come across is circular dependencies when 
there really are none.  Try "bitbake udhcp" and witness

ERROR: 
'['/usr/src/oe/org.openembedded.dev/packages/udhcp/udhcp_0.9.8.bb']' 
RDEPENDS/RRECOMMENDS or otherwise requires the runtime entity 'udhcp' 
but it wasn't found in any PACKAGE or RPROVIDES variables

The bb file definition looks fine for all I know.  What is the problem here?

Regards

Rolf


PS: Can't we drop udhcp in favor of busybox(-udhcp)?  Seems like 
redundant meta-data to me.
