This is a bit of an obscure error, but what it really means is that something 
created a directory called /var/log, while something else created a symlink 
called /var/log.  The directory owner was installed before the symlink owner.. 
so when the symlink was being installed cpio went "huh?!"  (note: the problem 
could be /var... hard to tell)

This is one of the situations that the system wide directory "fixing" in 
packages.bbclass is support to resolve.
