Certainly, we have a bbclass globally in INHERIT that contains: addtask source_release # potential fix here do_source_release() { : } addtask all_source_releases xx_do_all_source_releases() { : } do_all_source_releases[nostamp] = "1" do_all_source_releases[recrdeptask] += "do_all_source_releases do_source_release" addtask husk_recipe before do_source_release python xx_do_husk_recipe() { ... } (there's also another task similar to do_husk_recipe) and in the particular recipe that has trouble with racing against rm_work: do_husk_recipe() { # do stuff in ${WORKDIR} } addtask husk_recipe after do_populate_sysroot before do_source_release there's also a source-release-world recipe that contains: DEPENDS = "our-image" and we run: bitbake -c all_source_releases source-release-world > I suppose it worked before because your tasks could depend on do_build > without triggering do_rm_work, while now that is included.

I think that I could fix this by changing: addtask source_release to addtask source_release before do_rm_work (and also fixing any other tasks that suffer from this problem) but I was hoping that there was a better fix to rm_work.bbclass itself.
