[oe] Struggling with creating recipe liblockdev

[Jack Mitchell]

I am really struggling with making a new recipe for a library called 
lockdev. It is fairly old and fairly basic but I am failling at the 
initial hurdles!

So far I have:

DESCRIPTION = "Manage character and block device lockfiles."
HOMEPAGE = 
"http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=lockdev/lockdev.git;a=summary"

LICENSE = "LGPLv2.1"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://LICENSE;md5=d8045f3b8f929c1cb29a1e3fd737b499"

PR = "r1.4"
PV = "1.0.3"

SRC_URI = 
"http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lockdev/lockdev_${PV}.orig.tar.gz 
\
            file://lockdev_1.0.3-1.4.patch \
"

SRC_URI[md5sum] = "64b9c1b87b125fc348e892e24625524a"
SRC_URI[sha256sum] = 
"ccae635d7ac3fdd50897eceb250872b3d9a191d298f213e7f0c836910d869f82"

Which gives me the error:NOTE: Resolving any missing task queue dependencies
NOTE: Preparing runqueue
NOTE: Executing SetScene Tasks
NOTE: Executing RunQueue Tasks
ERROR: Function failed: liblockdev: LIC_FILES_CHKSUM points to an

When I enter a devshell, the LICENSE file is there but in the directory 
../liblockdev-1.0.3 not the directory I am dropped in. Where am I going 
wrong?
