Description

Files in the sstate cache are still containing the path to the project in which they were created. This can cause another project to fail to build if the original project has been deleted and/or if the user does not have permissions to access the original project directory.

Errors similar to the following will be seen:

ERROR: Error executing a python function in /work/test/proj/layers/oe-core/meta/recipes-kernel/oprofile/oprofile_0.9.7.bb:

Workaround

remove the "bad" package files from the sstate dir

Steps to Reproduce

This required two or more projects configured in the same way and using a shared sstate cache. The first project is used to populate the sstate cache and then the second to use those sstate files.

The problem will not occur with every build, but once a package has been created and placed in the sstate cache (using first project) that will trigger the problem then all subsequent projects (second project and future) will also fail every time until the package files are removed from the sstate dir.
