[yocto] build failure on current

[Evade Flow]

Just to bring this full circle: I finally got the CRC error on my Ubuntu
10.04 build server to go away by adding the following line to
/etc/apt/sources.list:

  deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-updates main universe restricted

and then executing:

  sudo apt-get install gzip

to update gzip.  Thanks, Paul, for all of your help in tracking this
down...
