There is an unchecked error case here. I just had to fix this issue:

ERROR: Execution of event handler 'oe_import_eh' failed
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "oe_import_eh(e)", line 4, in 
oe_import_eh(e=<bb.event.ConfigParsed object at 0x3834f90>)
   File "/mnt/yocto/poky.git/meta/lib/oe/lsb.py", line 25, in 
distro_identifier(adjust_hook=None):
          lsb_data = release_dict()
     >    distro_id, release = lsb_data['Distributor ID'], 
lsb_data['Release']
          if adjust_hook:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'


by installing lsb_release. Archlinux 64.

Should it check to see if it installed first and error otherwise? It 
looks like it tries to do it here:

+    try:
+        output, err = bb.process.run(['lsb_release', '-a'], stderr=PIPE)
+    except bb.process.CmdError as exc:
+        return


but it must be missing something.
