The issue is that there are multiple providers of libx11 and when you bitbake world, we don't want them all to build. For that reason it gets excluded and then the correct version will get built as needed. There are plans afoot to merge those different libx11 recipes at which point the exclude from world will get dropped. > I also see package specific exclusions in world-broken.inc. This was originally a list of known problematic packages and used to be quite large. Looking at the list: gobject-introspection: Totally broken recipe, I'm tempted to delete it. eds-tools: Again, I'm tempted to delete the recipe clutter-box2d: This should build, not sure why its on the broken list.
