We've seen a number of mystery failures where task B would run despite task A, its dependency not having run. An example would be do_compile when do_unpack didn't run. This has been tracked down to this code block. In theory it shouldn't trigger however it can and has due to bugs elsewhere. When it does, it causes significant weird failures and possible build corruption. Change the code to abort the build. This avoids any chance of corruption and should ensure the issues get reported, putting an end to the weird build failures. There may be some cases where this triggers and it shouldn't, we'll work through those as they arise and are identified.

Bitbake
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
Contributing
Please refer to http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
