I have spent the past 4 days setting up OE/Bitbake on my laptop. I have compiled and built my own monotone_0.25-1 deb to make this work properly on my 56K dial-up connection. This is so sad it's funny... I have networked 56K. It is very slow, but I have it working properly now. I have tested it out with bitbaking a (working) nano and a zuc ipk.
Now that I know this works with dial-up (if I don't need the phone line, or die of old age), I though I would make a bigger test. So I did a monotone pull (org.openembedded.oz354x)and update very early today, and then did a bitbake bootstrape-image for a collie. Everthing seemed to be working... and many, many hours later it failed with this error:

A search on bugzilla found this:
http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=942It's still open.
Edit: bug#942 is resolved
And this:
http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=828Where RP makes a comment that 'could' be related? I'm not sure?
What can I do to fix this hostap-conf dependencies error so I can finish this build?
For the record I have used 3.2GB of disk space for everything. With the exception of my slow connection... OE/Bitbake works 'very' fast as compared to one year ago. I should add that I have checked and there are 6 kernels and 1270 ipks in my /build/tmp for this build alone.
Thanks to everyone involved in making this work so well... and so easy to use.
