Sounds familiar, some recipes think they need util-linux-mount while they 
actually only need a mount command. Worse than that, util-linux-mount does not 
work correctly on the settop boards, so I had to go to extremes to get rid of it.

One way to find the guilty recipes is to simply remove the util-linux recipes 
and see what errors you get.

Here's some inspiration how to get rid of it:
