Hi Robert,

I run the same beagleboard-demo-image build on Ubuntu 9.10 almost daily.
Occasionally I also see a package build error and I mostly resolve this by
doing a bitbake -c clean for that package and then a bitbake -c build for
the same package. In most instances, this results in a clean build and then
beagleboard-demo-image builds without error. If this does not work, then I
rename my tmp folder and then rebuild everything. On my machine, it only
takes about an hour to complete. If I get the same build error, then and
only then do I start looking for a fix (review log file, review chat
discussions, etc). Over the last six weeks, the only build that would not
complete was on Dec 13 because mesa-dri was broken.

I hope this helps.
Regards,
John
