I think something in this test is faulty. For example building an image
in yocto do_image with fakeroot/pseudo and then modifying it outside of build
env with wic is likely going to fail like this.

I will try with other machine targets and cleaner local.conf
but I suspect I will run into this same issue again.

And the error from your CI buidl was completely different... :/

Cheers,
