[yocto] populate_sdk and debian packages problem

[Martin Townsend]

Hi Paul,

I don't know if it worked before, we were using daisy with an external
toolchain and populate_sdk wasn't working.  I've wanted to go to Fido and
use the built toolchain so I bit the bullet as all looks good except
populate_sdk with dpkg.  Anyway, I'll file a bug as it looks like there is
a problem.

In the meantime if someone could point me in the direction of which class
files to look at that would be great as I need to get this working asap and
I don't mind doing some ground work.

Cheers,
Martin.
