[oe] preferred version not available

[Detlef Vollmann]

Hello,

this one really drives me crazy.

Here's what I do:
$ bitbake -D -D -D -D -g linux-taurus | fgrep linux-taurus
DEBUG: Cache: /src/ccp-oe/taurus/recipes/linux/linux-taurus_githead.bb 
is not cached
DEBUG: BB /src/ccp-oe/taurus/recipes/linux/linux-taurus_githead.bb: 
handle(data)
DEBUG: LOAD /src/ccp-oe/taurus/recipes/linux/linux-taurus_githead.bb
DEBUG: CONF /src/ccp-oe/taurus/recipes/linux/linux-taurus_githead.bb:5: 
including recipes/linux/ccp-linux.inc
DEBUG: providers for linux-taurus are: ['linux-taurus']
NOTE: preferred version githead of linux-taurus not available (for item 
linux-taurus)

It already starts with the first 'DEBUG' line: Why is it not cached.
I have some other recipes for linux-taurus with version numbers that
don't get parsed again because they are cached.
But I can live with that.
What really drives me nuts is the last line: it clearly parsed
linux-taurus_githead.bb before, doesn't give me any error on it,
but then tells me 'preferred version githead of linux-taurus not
available'.  It's clearly there, so why is it not available?

The interesting thing is that I don't have any problems with my
other *_githead.bb recipes, only with the linux kernel...

I'd really appreciate any help!
