never mind, i just read this snippet from the YP ref manual:
"You can use the oe-pkgdata-util command-line utility to query
PKGDATA_DIR and display various package-related information. When you
use the utility, you must use it to view information on packages that
have already been built."
so i'm assuming that means for *all* oe-pkgdata subcommands, no
exceptions.
