I think your subject line is missing something: "Configure installation

About the content, testing on the autobuilders with these patches
revealed this error:

AssertionError: Command 'wic cp /home/pokybuild/yocto-worker/oe-selftest-armhost/build/build-st-3401455/wic-tmp/tmp7rdi3u6g-202302081514-sda.direct:1 /tmp/tmpenbv64e3' returned non-zero exit status 1:
ERROR: Can't find executable 'mcopy'

Can you check that?

Here are some logs:
