 I don't think that read attempt should try to access ${prefix} but
 ${destroot}${prefix} instead. You're right though that it's probably not
 occurring in a post-destroot block.

 However, this sort of regression will typically go undetected when
 upgrading an existing build.

 I scanned from the end and didn't scan too far beyond the cited portion.
 If not this than what's the real error?
