The task you build had an explicit requirement for 'rpm' (the package).  It's
saying it was unable to find that package.

I'm not sure how to track down where that requirement came from though.

You might be able to work around it by doing a "bitbake rpm"...

There is currently a lot of extra processing during task executation.  Each task
takes approx 1-2 seconds of processing.  A large number of the 1839 were likely
skipped.. thus the 11 minutes.

We're already working on a solution to this.  Between optimizing the setup of
the bitbake environment and changes in pseudo -- to facilitate the task executor
avoiding exec unless necessary.
