[oe] "Can't install krb5-dev-1.13.6-r0 at ppc7400: no package provides krb5 = 1.13.6-r0"

[Robert P. J. Day]

  ok, i hope this issue is not trivially simple. i'm building
core-image-minimal for qemuppc, and tossing in a bunch of other
recipes, everything builds until:

///// start /////

  a quick check shows the following rpms:

$ find tmp/deploy/rpm/ -name "*krb*"

$

and, sure enough, there's no krb5 rpm. why not? if i check the recipe,
i see:

  PACKAGES =+ "${PN}-admin-server \
             ${PN}-gss-samples \
             ${PN}-k5tls \
             ${PN}-kdc \
             ${PN}-kdc-ldap \
             ${PN}-kpropd \
             ${PN}-otp \
             ${PN}-pkinit \
             ${PN}-user \
             libgssapi-krb5 \
             libgssrpc \
             libk5crypto \
             libkadm5clnt-mit \
             libkadm5srv-mit \
             libkdb5 \
             libkrad \
             libkrb5 \
             libkrb5support \
             libverto"

  FILES_${PN} = ""

so ... while the recipe introduces a pile of new output packages, it
empties the base "krb5" package. does that mean it needs to be
identified as allowing empty just to exist?

  i've built a lot of qemu/core-image-minimal images, and this is the
first time i've seen this krb5-related issue.
