I'm still trying to work through testing of these. This one seems to
result in:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/23/builds/3077/steps/11/logs/warnings

which is from net-tools-native.

NETTOOLS_PACKAGES_class-native = ""

may be the neatest fix for that I can think of offhand.

Cheers,

Richard
