I'll send a quick fix for this. This, however, is not the reason of the
build failure. It's complementary packages that are installed and an
empty list is passed to install(). Since these are attempt only
packages, the build does not fail because of this. Anyway, I added a
simple check and I will send a v3.

Now, this is the interesting part which, btw, happens on master too. That's
because you're installing from feeds and you're installing an older
version that has different packages than the latest (these are read from
package.manifest). The YP 1.5 core-image-minimal package.manifest
contains update-alternatives-cworth. The latest core-image-minimal does
not contain this package anymore. It contains update-alternatives-opkg.

The easiest way would be to add a check in license_create_manifest() to
just ignore packages that cannot be found. However, since we're dealing
with licenses here, I honestly don't know if this is the right way of
doing it...
