[OE-core] intermittent (50% of the time) parse failures

[Koen Kooi]

Hi,

I'm working on xfce and half the time I get:

koen at dominion:/OE/tentacle/sources/meta-openembedded/meta-xfce/recipes-panel-plugins/cpugraph$ bitbake xfce4-cpugraph-plugin
Loading cache: 100% |#############################################################################################################################################################################################################################################| ETA:  00:00:00

    data, version = p.load()
ValueError: could not convert string to int

The next run is fine, the one after that broken, etc

I suspect it's this bit of code:

SRC_URI = "http://archive.xfce.org/src/panel-plugins/${BPN}/${@'${PV}'[0:3]}/${BPN}-${PV}.tar.bz2"

But I wonder why it works half the time, not always.

regards,

Koen
