Victory!

Looking at the Packages file, it appears that gnupg depends on libusb-compat.

I then ran this series of commands:

bitbake gnupg -c cleansstate
bitbake -c clean core-image-basic
bitbake core-image-basic

These tasks all completed successfully. Thank you, Richard, for taking
the time to point me in the right direction.

One last question-- somehow, the first build of gnupg was expecting to
find libusb-compat by the wrong name. This was cached in sstate, and a
subsequent build fixed it. Why would it work the second time if the
recipe was unchanged?

Cheers,
Brandon
