[yocto] Smart package manager problems

[Alexandru Vaduva]

Thanks Paul,

I will do that, but the smart package manager cannot be used as a rootfs package.
The fact that is does not correctly identify which of the dependencies are already installed could cause further problems.

Would you mind filing a bug in the Yocto Project bugzilla to cover this? I think the likely solution will be just to whitelist the warnings.
