Hi Saul,

It seems they are both git recipes, only the 1.4.1 recipe is missing dependencies, has no LIC_FILES_CHKSUM, and has a different license tag.
It looks to me like it hasn't built for some time... There is also a bogus folder full of 1.4.1 patches in the 1.4.9 patches folder.
I think things got mixed up during the recipe reorganisation, a parallel version of mtd-utils was subsequently added, and the original has rotted.

Regards,
James
