Trying to build Haiku for x86_gcc2 from the latest code in git this
morning fails for me near the end of the build process with

  BuildHaikuCD1 /home/ssouth/Source/Haiku/git.haiku-
os.org/haiku/generated-x86_gcc2/haiku-nightly.iso
  Populating image ...

  Encountered problems:
  problem 1: nothing provides haiku>=r1~alpha4_pm_hrev49898-1 needed by

  problem 2: nothing provides haiku>=r1~alpha4_pm_hrev49898-1 needed by

  problem 3: nothing provides haiku>=r1~alpha4_pm_hrev49898-1 needed by

    solution 1:
      - allow deinstallation of libpng16_devel-1.6.20-1
   ...

Many similar messages follow, all suggesting the deinstallation of
various packages.

I've tried running "jam -q clean" and "git pull --tags" and removing
the contents of "build_packages" before rebuilding, but none of it has
helped.

I feel like I've missed a step somewhere. What is it I've forgotten to
do?
