Just for the next person that comes along. My issue was not the dependencies, it was that I was trying to extract a "control.tar.xz" inside my custom "do_prepare" task. I am using "kas-container" for my build and the Docker image does not contain "xz". The "tar" command was failing because of this.
I ended up adding # This is needed to ensure that xz is staged before it is needed. do_prepare[depends] = "xz-native:do_populate_sysroot" to the recipe to ensure that "xz" native was built and installed where "tar" could then find it. I verified that this is working multiple times by bitbake -c cleanall xz zebra-scanner-corescanner to clean the recipe and "xz" and then running bitbake -c devshell zebra-scanner-corescanner and I verified that "xz" was present in "../recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/xz". All is working correctly now.
