It is distressing when bitbake -e can't run due to sanity check failures, because the solution often involves figuring out what configuration file are being read and what values they are setting. Solution: Don't do that. If the datasmart object reports that tracking is enabled, emit an error() but not a fatal(), and also warn the user that things may be badly broken.
This depends on a change to bitbake (adding the isTracking() method).
