Sadly, this is broken once again.  I just upgraded my Poky/Yocto
to rev d45d4a5a21ab4209b87331dddf515ecdb62367fa and if I have the
   SDK_TARGETS += "ti-cgt-pru-native"
in my local.conf, I get this hard error:

ERROR: Task do_sdk_depends in 
/home/gary/tmp/p8701_2017-01-31/opt/amltd/poky/meta-rainier-am335x-p8701/packages/images/installer-image.bb rdepends 
upon non-existent task do_package_write_ipk in 
virtual:native:/home/gary/tmp/p8701_2017-01-31/opt/amltd/poky/meta-ti/recipes-ti/devtools/ti-cgt-pru_2.1.1.bb
ERROR: Command execution failed: 1

Any ideas how to proceed?

Thanks
