[yocto] PR server doesn't always work?

[Gary Thomas]

I'm using a local PR server and for the most part, it works great!
No more messing about with PR and PRINC and ...

However, I have a situation where it doesn't do what I expect.
Here's my scenario:
  * Build some package X
  * Rebuild package database (bitbake package-index)
  * Update package database on target
  * Install package X on target
  * Update the RRECOMMENDS_${PN} in the recipe and rebuild.
    I can see that the package is updated - everything from
    do_package onwards is updated.
  * Rebuild package database (bitbake package-index)
  * Update package database on target
  * Try to install/update package X.  I'm told that it is up
    to date.

I can see that the package _was_ updated on the build host even
if the PR value was not changed because if I remove package X
and reinstall it, the new RRECOMMENDS_${PN} packages are also
being installed.

Am I missing something?  Shouldn't this work and the PR value
be bumped by the PR server, even if all that happened was the
list of recommendations was changed?
