This will only work if your image includes packagegroup-base, as noted
in the glossary entry for this variable:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS

Presumably the image you are building does not include packagegroup-base
(or more specifically, packagegroup-machine-base)?

Cheers,
Paul
