This patch set removes the wild cards from the SRC_URI of both libpam
and the man recipes.
When FILESEXTRAPATHS is used in a bbappend file to add extra search paths,
bitbake's fetch2 unpack() doesn't properly handle a wildcard when used
in the SRC_URI field of the original recipe's bb file.
We can unpack failures, I've even seen a report of a fetch failure. We
resolve this by avoiding wild cards in SRC_URI!
I have verified that both before and after the change, the contents of the
source code and other components in these recipes are the same.
I suggest that we make wildcards in the SRC_URI field illegal, either via
a sanity check or within bitbake itself.
