I just checked my autobuilder -- apparently it too is suffering from the
python "msg" problem. Looks like the OE folks now require at least
version 1.10 of bitbake. So, edit the Makefile, find the two lines that
reference bitbake 1.8 versions, and change them to 1.10 and 1.10.1
respectively. I'm not sure that SlugOS will build with this new
bitbake version, though.
I'm not sure if this was an intentional change on the part of the OE
team; this happened in the past week and I don't recall seeing an
announcement from them. If it was intentional, we'll have to update the
master Makefile, I guess.
