[yocto] something about gtk+-2.24.8.tar.bz2 that requires constant downloading?

  ok, i'm baffled and getting thoroughly annoyed here.  i started from
absolute scratch, configured to build for qemux86, then did

  $ bitbake -c fetchall core-image-sato

while pointing at my massive directory of tarballs which includes
gtk+-2.24.8.tar.bz2.  every required tarball is accessed (via symlink)
from my ~/dl directory, *except* for that incredibly irritating
gtk+-2.24.8.tar.bz2 tarball, which is downloaded by the "fetchall"
command *every* *single* *time*.

  i've verified that tarball is there.  i've verified its md5 and
sha256 checksums.  i'm out of ideas.

  what am i doing wrong?
