The recipe is located in meta-hello/recipes-editor/nano. Basically it is trying to build a nano text editor package. It is failing at the do_fetch() task. After some print statement debugging I figured out that the failure happens at this line: src_uri = (d.getVar('SRC_URI', True) or "").split(), specifically at d.getVar('SRC_URI', True). I'm not really sure what exactly is causing the problem. Would anyone care to help? I'm running a rocko build of yocto.
Here is the terminal output I get when I run the recipe:
$bitbake nano
