Hi,
yes, I have seen this during multimachine builds.
My TMPDIR is on tmpfs in ram so everytime I reboot it is re-populated
from sstate.

Configuring packagegroup-base.
Collected errors:
  * opkg_install_pkg: Package update-rc.d md5sum mismatch. Either the
opkg or the package index are corrupt. Try 'opkg update'.
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package psplash.
 * opkg_install_pkg: Package update-rc.d md5sum mismatch. Either the
opkg or the package index are corrupt. Try 'opkg update'.
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package packagegroup-base-extended.
 * opkg_install_pkg: Package run-postinsts md5sum mismatch. Either the
opkg or the package index are corrupt. Try 'opkg update'.
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package run-postinsts.
 * opkg_install_pkg: Package update-rc.d md5sum mismatch. Either the
opkg or the package index are corrupt. Try 'opkg update'.
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package packagegroup-core-boot.
ERROR: Function failed: do_rootfs

I retried right now after reboot (clean tmpdir) but this time it didn't happen.
Once/if I find the way to reproduce it I'll open a bug.

Cheers
