Thanks for that fix, it helps!

FWIW, what I'm seeing with glibc-locale is that these files "disappear"
from the packages in one of my builds:

./usr/share/locale/vi/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo

I can conform they're not in the glibc stashed-locale sstate object so
they disappear somewhere before that in the glibc recipe itself.

Quite where/why I don't know as yet.

For procps, the timestamps in the output are different, that is the
only difference. That means something is indeterminate with the source
epoch for that recipe. Again, why, I don't know. The two stamps are:

2019-12-08·04:06:03
2019-12-08·04:05:49

This latter one could potentially be a bug in hashequiv (cc Joshua). It
may need that stamps patch I have fixed up to resolve it. The fix it
needs is to make it apply only to certain tasks.

Cheers,

Richard
