you can look into buildhistory to help you find the dependency chain
in local.conf you need to enable buildhistory generation

then do a build before adding FB lib and after adding libs
then go into buildhistory repo and do
git show

it will show you top commit showing all the changes in packages
and image after you added FB lib
