[OE-core] Build failure

[Andreas Müller]

Ciao,

with latest layer HEADS and build from scratch I get:

KeyError: 'getpwnam(): name not found: root'

NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 3985 tasks of which 397 didn't need to

The only additional information I found up to now:

* the code mentioned in error message is found in package.bbclass.
* in sysroot/etc/passwd there is a line 'root::0:0:root:/home/root:/bin/sh'

Any ideas?
