I think this triggered the following error on our test infrastructure:

NOTE: Resolving any missing task queue dependencies
ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 'glibc-utils' (but /srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/musl-qemux86/build/layers/openembedded-core/meta/recipes-extended/procps/procps_4.0.5.bb RDEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)

Can you have a look?
