Hoi Alexandre,
and thanks again for patiently pointing out the autobuilder problems :-)
"only" the test_image_gen_pkgdbfs_{ipk,deb,rpm} fail, the
test_image_use_pkgdbfs succeeds
picking apart the yocto-autobuilder-helper/config.json showed the difference:
basically all oe-selftest-* use
"MACHINE" : "qemux86-64"
**but** oe-selftest-armhost sets:
"MACHINE": "qemuarm64"
the test_image_gen_pkgdbfs_ checks to sanity check the packagamanager state
looked for a "kernel-image" package in the listing... but for quemuarm64
"packagegroup-core-boot" replaces that
v9 of the patchstack adapts that particular assert(s) to look for either the
kernel-image or core-boot depending on the set MACHINE
gruß
Johannes

Hello,
It seems that this reliably fails oe-selftest-armhost. I didn't really
pay attention until now beause we had other issues but in this build,
those are the only failing tests:
