[poky] eSDK build fails on Ubuntu 17.10

Hi,

I encounter the below issue when generating the Poky eSDK for qemux86 (and also other architectures):

I am aware that Ubuntu 17.10 is not yet supported, but perhaps there is an easy workaround? Image- and ordinary SDK builds without issues - attached is the log file.

Thanks,
Martin
