Hi Sumanth,

Thanks for taking care of this series.

So we do have a few fails here:

ERROR: core-image-sato-sdk-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Could not invoke dnf. Command ...

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

It does happen with a few different packages.

Also, we do have selftest failures:
