openmoko-minimal-image fails to build because of popt dependency

[Peter Haijen]

 <openembedded-users at lists.openembedded.org>Hi there!

First of all, as a new user who recently discovered openembedded, I would
like to say thanks to everyone involved for creating such a great and useful
package!

Today I tried building openmoko-minimal-image (and several others) and each
time got stuck when trying to build popt.
The linker (I think) complained about -liconv or something, I had to do the
following to get popt to compile:

#
# old_revision [39f05de8480aa04acd8f165a3ab42754a631b206]
#
# patch "packages/popt/popt_1.13.bb"
#  from [03a1f329b8652f9c5184cc7433ba07a16a0a1400]
#    to [b551153043b55ddaa4b476d05969066357e02f4d]

I was wondering, what the reason for the above error was - did I do
something wrong or is there an error in the current OE database?
Is there some kind of 'stable' OE database available which I should use in
stead, if I do not want to live on the bleeding edge?

Thanks,

Peter
