So, what this means it that vmime.pc wasn't properly cleaned.  If you 
add pkgconfig to the inherit list (which brings in 
classes/pkgconfig.bbclass, take a peek at what it's doing) this will go 
away.

Arguably we should make the error clearer and say, like the gettext one 
something about missing inherit pkgconfig in the recipe.
