Then remove all packages under tmp/deploy; also tmp/pkgdata/*/X and
tmp/pkgdata/*/runtime/X*; and tmp/staging/*/*/shlibs/X*. Otherwise you may 
get problems if you've switched PACKAGE_ARCH in a recipe, or switched 
between packages that provide the same shared library.

I don't think there's a way to remove files from the staging directory. 
Maybe with packaged staging?
