I'm sorry to say that it seems that we can't backport this patch since
we need at least the following patches, it is not a good idea to backport
it:

d69931d scripts/oe-pkgdata-util: fix global name 'debug' is not defined
6ce2879 scripts/oe-pkgdata-util: add ability to find a recipe from a target package
948a714 scripts/oe-pkgdata-util: add ability to look up runtime package names
48755f1 scripts/oe-pkgdata-util: add ability to search for a target path
4ec1f8c scripts/oe-pkgdata-util: check path arguments to ensure they exist
8b42409 scripts/oe-pkgdata-util: improve help text and command line parsing
9ce903b scripts/oe-pkgdata-util: remove remnants of former pkgdata structure

It is because I backported this commit: (I'm sorry about that)

     license.bbclass: fix copying license directories failed

It is used for fixing this bug:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5572

Enalbe COPY_LIC_MANIFEST and COPY_LIC_DIRS: No kernel license is installed in image

But it used the "oe-pkgdata-util lookup-recipe" which is only on master branch,
I think that we'd better:

1) Revert this commit, then it works with minor problems.

Or

2) Fix the "oe-pkgdata-util lookup-recipe" on dora.
