Re: [OE-core] [PATCH] file /etc/ethertypes conflicts between netbase-1:6.2-r0.corei7_64 and ebtables-2.0.10+4-r4.corei7_64

["Mark Hatle" <mark.hatle@kernel.crashing.org>]

The version in netbase is the correct one.

For a comparison, see the followng for the netbase version:

https://salsa.debian.org/md/netbase/-/blob/master/etc/ethertypes

and see the following for the ebtables version:

http://git.netfilter.org/ebtables/tree/ethertypes?h=ebtables-2.0.10-4

So the correct fix for this would be to remove ethertypes from the ebtables
recipe in meta-oe.

Additionally, it looks like there is a MUCH newer version of ebtables.  (2.0.10
was released 6 year ago, while 2.0.11 was released about 1 year ago.)

(Even 2.0.11 has an older version of the ethertypes file then what netbase has.)
