Bitbake recipe is failing to chown various files and directories

Question

I'm making a customized poky setup, which seems to be giving me some issues. I've refactored poky from branch "dunfell", and added a few layers. Initially, I moved all of the layers, including the layers in the base poky directory to a new directory, "layers". I've refactored bblayers.conf to point to this new location, and attempted to build core-image-minimal. No luck. Continuously got some error where a recipe within db-native (meta/recipes-support/db/db_5.3.28.bb) fails in do_install() where chown -R root:root ... is called.

After some messing around to no avail, I decide to remove all extra layers, as well as my own custom layer to isolate the problem. I'm now down to bblayers.conf only pointing to meta, meta-yocto-bsp, and meta-poky all within my new layers dir (poky/layers/meta*). Everything that I'm aware of that needs to be refactored to see this new layers dir has (as far as I know) been taken care of. Everything that I refactored was oe-init-build-env, .templateconf, and bblayers.conf.sample.

Now with only these three layers, and everything refactored, I try to build core-image-minimal again, to no avail. I get the same exact error, abridged here:

As some background, my forked poky is setup as such:

./
.git/
.repo/
bitbake/
build/
contrib/
documentation/
scripts/
layers/
meta-skeleton/
oe-init-build-env*
.gitignore
.templateconf
MEMORIAM

and here is the layers dir:

./
meta-openembedded/
meta-poky/
meta-qt5/
meta-raspberrypi/
meta-rpi/
meta-yocto-bsp/
meta/

bblayers.conf is as such:

# POKY_BBLAYERS_CONF_VERSION is increased each time build/conf/bblayers.conf
# changes incompatibly
POKY_BBLAYERS_CONF_VERSION = "2"

BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}"
BBFILES ?= ""

BBLAYERS ?= " \
  [redacted]/test/layers/meta \
  [redacted]/test/layers/meta-poky \
  [redacted]/test/layers/meta-yocto-bsp \

I've found a lot of similar issues scouring the web, although many seem to be different in such a way that it's not applicable (e.g. network related, different recipe, etc.). A couple extremely similar questions I've found relating directly to this were never answered.

I definitely appreciate the help from anyone willing! Thanks!

Looks like the scripts/native-intercept directory is empty?
