This, as Robert says, often occurs if layers get out of sync. For example, if oe-core bumps a recipe version and the old one no longer exists, but the other layer hasn't updated to the new version yet. It being fatal is a sane default, as it's important to realize when your changes are no longer being applied. The variable you mention changes the behavior to a warning instead. -- Christopher Larson
