Poor first impression

I just tried to run Poky/Yocto on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 system. I knew there would
be missing bits and have seen the "sanity" messages in the past, so I thought I'd
just carry on. Today's experience was not pretty and would it not for my experience
with this, I would have been very perplexed...

Here's what I saw:

Hey Gary, was this on a 1.4 / Danny Branch or master? Richard may have done something with master when he made some of the Python3 changes.

Master, updated 2013-05-16

Definitely worth updating again, there were some incompatibility with Python 2.6 that were fixed yesterday.

I just tried to run Poky/Yocto on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 system. I knew there would be missing bits and have seen the "sanity" messages in the past, so I thought I'd just carry on. Today's experience was not pretty and would it not for my experience with this, I would have been very perplexed...

There are two issues there, firstly the scripts/bitbake binary is doing a really bad job, secondly, one of the improved debugging patches I added to bitbake, regressed things in this case.

I posted a patch to bitbake last night, I've just posted a fix for scripts/bitbake now. These two together should improve this. I agree that particular error would create a poor first impression, thanks for reporting it.

With this patch, no 'git' and a fresh build I still get this:

Did you apply both patches, the one for bitbake and the one for OE-Core? This looks like the bitbake one is missing.
