Python cyclic dependencies
In the do_rootfs log, I found these messages:
Breaking circular dependency on python-core for libz1. Breaking circular dependency on python-core for python-lang. Breaking circular dependency on python-core for libz1. Breaking circular dependency on python-core for python-lang. Breaking circular dependency on python-core for python-re. Breaking circular dependency on python-core for python-re.
Looking at the Python recipes, the package information for Python seems wrong indeed, in python-2.7-manifest.inc:
RDEPENDS_${PN}-re="${PN}-core"
RDEPENDS_${PN}-lang="${PN}-core"
RDEPENDS_${PN}-core="${PN}-lang ${PN}-re"
And this is what creates that cycle. Either core depends on lang, or vice versa, but not both (or they should simply be one and the same package)
I'd be happy to provide a patch either way...

I'd be tempted to say squash them into core, and add RPROVIDES for compatibility. Obviously nobody needs to save the few hundred kb you'd remove by allowing the parts to be installed independently.
