Hi Colin,

Thanks for your patch.

It looks like we are having some ptest failing on the autobuilder:

Failed ptests:
{'python3': ['test_min_max_version', 'python3']}

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/73/builds/3075
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/61/builds/3030

Test logs can be found here:

https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20260212-56/testresults/qemux86-64-ptest/core-image-ptest-python3/
https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/20260212-56/testresults/qemuarm64-ptest/core-image-ptest-python3/

Can you have a look at this error?

Thanks,
Mathieu
