Apologies, I just assumed that's what you meant by "nuking". If there's a bug or otherwise undesirable behaviour that is causing this problem I'd really like to figure out what it is so we can fix it for everyone. > I certainly don't have the faintest idea about how to > diagnose it, beyond the naive steps I've already taken.

You didn't mention in your reply to Saul whether the foo package was mentioned in log.do_rootfs or installed_pkgs.txt files in your old tmpdir; was it? > That said, rebuilding tmp (preserving downloads and sstate-cache) did > indeed fix that problem, but it was replaced with another.

Does samba.inc used by the samba recipe you are building have a PACKAGECONFIG line referring to pam? I think that was added recently in meta-oe master (and shortly to be merged into the meta-oe dylan branch). Without it there will be a floating dependency on pam, which may account for this latter issue.
