It looks like a dependency issue, there is no way to tell bitbake that
ipkg-utils-native must have run do_populate_staging before it can run
do_package_write tasks.

The email I just sent to the list has a proposed fix but its not
backwards compatible so will need some discussion.

A short term work around is to "bitbake ipkg-utils-native" before
running your other bitbake command.
