First of all thank for the quick fix! My laptop is busy building Yocto 
now as I write.

As for the poky mirrors, they clearly didn't work for me. The bitbake 
command just stopped working when it failed to process the acl package. 
As far as I can say no attempts were made to reach any poky mirrors at 
all. Is there something we have to do to enable them before compiling 
the project?
