This problem that I have on denzil with pandaboard is I get the 
following error:

ERROR: ParseError at 
/home/jim/meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-navigation/gpsd/gpsd_git.bb:28: 
Could not inherit file classes/pythonnative.bbclass
ERROR: Command execution failed: Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/jim/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/command.py", line 84, in 
runAsyncCommand
     self.cooker.updateCache()
   File "/home/jim/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/cooker.py", line 1202, in updateCache

     self.virtuals += len(result)
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'result' referenced before assignment

Summary: There were 2 ERROR messages shown, returning a non-zero exit code.

I already have a BBMASK statement in local.conf:

BBMASK ?= ".*/meta-ti/recipes-(misc|bsp/formfactor)/"

I'm not sure how I add a second statement like:

BBMASK ?= ".*/meta-openembedded/meta-oe//recipes-navigation/"

Do I use += in both or what???
