I commented on this elsewhere but for completeness, this is a
workaround, not a fix. The problem is that the PROVIDES in target-sdk-
provides-dummy.bb are clearly missing something.

This means that the SDK tries to exclude "/bin/sh" and similar target
dependencies from the SDK rootfs which leads to excluding busybox and
then fails to do so. If busybox is installed, busybox-dev gets pulled
in and the problems start.

The real fix is to figure out the missing target-sdk-provides-dummy
provides.

If someone could share a way to reproduce the failure that would be a
good start.

Cheers,

Richard
