[oe] qt-embedded-4.4 and bitbake-1.6.8

Hi,

first I have to admit that I use oe and bb for a few days only, so pls let 
me know if I missed some basics.

My goal is to compile qt-embedded-4.4 for the dreambox-7025 (mipsel).

Therefore I setup an oe environment within debian etch - or more precisly a 
dreambox developer environment which is mostly based on oe. The dreambox 
community provides a makefile which setups the environment and builds an 
image w/o any user input:
http://schwerkraft.elitedvb.net/plugins/scmcvs/cvsweb.php/~checkout~/Makefile-opendreambox?content-type=text%2Fplain;cvsroot=opendreambox

This environment does not provide the qt-embedded-4.4 package, so I got it 
from the openembedded git:
http://gitweb.openembedded.net/?p=org.openembedded.dev.git;a=tree;f=packages/qt4;hb=HEAD
I did the required steps to run bitbake manually and tried to build it which 
failed:

I'm not sure but I think this is caused by an older bitbake version, the 
dreambox environment supports only bitbake-1.6.8 and before, when using 
bitbake-1.8.x it fails on parsing the bitbake files:

$> bitbake dreambox-image
NOTE: Invalid cache found, rebuilding...

[...]

For me it looks like the dreambox setup uses bitbake metadata files which 
are incompatible to the latest bitbake versions while the qt-embedded 
package needs latest bitbake.

Can you confirm this and/or do you have some hints how to solve this 
problem?

Thanks & Regards
