Dear OE folks,


task `package` failed with the following error running `bitbake -k
glibc` with `angstrom-2008.1` for `MACHINE = "beagleboard"`.

        Packaged contents of glibc-charmap-ibm868 into /oe/build/angstrom-dev/deploy/glibc/ipk/armv7a/glibc-charmap-ibm868_2.9-r37.4.6_armv7a.ipk
        ERROR: Error in executing python function in: /oe/openembedded/recipes/glibc/glibc_2.9.bb
        ERROR: Exception:<type 'exceptions.ValueError'> Message:need more than 1 value to unpack
        ERROR: Printing the environment of the function

        ERROR:  0005:   if not workdir:
        ERROR:  0006:           bb.error("WORKDIR not defined, unable to package")
        ERROR: Function do_package_ipk failed

I recently activated

        PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j4"

in `conf/local.conf`.

I could not reproduce this problem running `bitbake -k glibc` a second
time.


Thanks,

Paul
