Mathieu  please confirm but since Sumanth is new,
I want to point out that we have a long history of people occasionally 
not being able to reproduce
(all of) the errors that the YP autobuilder (AB) encounters.

This is usually because:
  1. they only have one or two host distros at hand and/or
  2. they don't re-use sstate cache between distros like YP AB does.

In this case, the build failure links were from:

A. https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/68/builds/4362
      Rocky 8.8 worker 1

and
B. https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/19/builds/4253
      Debian 11 worker 3

It is never clear what distro the sstate cache is pulled in from since 
it's designed be distro-independent.

I'm not going to look at the other build failure links.

This package upgrade is particularly tricky so I'm going to ask Sundeep 
to help Sumanth with
running some customer YP AB builds if Mathieu thinks that's a good idea. 
Due to the timzone
difference between Sumanth (in Texas) and Sundeep (in India), this might 
not happen until next week.

Hold on there guys, we'll get this figured out soon hopefully.
