Hi, after bumping meta-mender to latest kirkstone branch (4047149055f8dd6db59412c9e802e94a3ba7c85d) I’m seeing:

```auto
ERROR: Multiple .bb files are due to be built which each provide mender:####################################### | ETA: 0:00:04
  /home/builder/buildAgent/work/bfe82d39ffb16f23/.build/../sources/meta-mender/meta-mender-core/recipes-mender/mender-client/mender-client_3.5.2.bb
  /home/builder/buildAgent/work/bfe82d39ffb16f23/.build/../sources/meta-mender/meta-mender-core/recipes-mender/mender-client/mender_4.0.1.bb

```

Is there anything I need to add to conf please? Thanks.

Seems resolved by adding this to local.conf: `PREFERRED_PROVIDER_mender = "mender-client"`
