Looks like a bug in python3.bb, the block of code starting '# First set
RPROVIDES for -native case' should add python3-misc-native explicitly as
that package isn't in the manifest.

A better fix would be to remove the misc package from the recipe itself
and define it entirely in the manifest file so it is no longer 'special'.
