Thanks Richard, but I still get the same error, see below. Perhaps I misunderstood
your instructions.

I did a cleansstate on the package, added the empty function to the recipe

	do_populate_sysroot () {
	}

	sysroot_stage_dirs() {
	}

When I delete poky/build/tmp and run the build again, I get this error during
setscene processing:

	ERROR: Error executing a python function in /home/platform/Workspace/dspgbase/poky/../meta-Avaya/recipes-avaya/avaya-fonts-bdf/avaya-fonts-bdf_1.0.0.bb:
