[OE-core] do_prepare_recipe_sysroot: The file /usr/bin/instmodsh is installed by both perl-native and extutils-makemaker-perl-native, aborting

[Alexander Kanavin]

In cases like this I would dig deeper and find out *why* these two
components want to install binaries with the same name, how the
binaries differ (if they do), and what do desktop distros do about the
situation. I typically view patches that add 'blind' use of
update-alternatives as treating symptoms rather than the issue, but I
prefer not to fight against it :)
