[PATCH] packagedata: Add warnings if multiple recipes try to write the same package

[PATCH] packagedata: Add warnings if multiple recipes try to write the same package

[Richard Purdie]

If multiple recipes try and write the same package it resulted in a
rather confusing traceback and unintuitive error. This patch
prints a human readable error instead.

bitbake world found 2 more recipes creating the same package:
vim/gvim in meta-oe
gnome-panel3_3.0.2.bb/gnome-panel_2.32.1.b in meta-gnome

But this error is a lot better then that traceback, maybe change commit
message to say fatal errors instead of warnings.
