Hi Adam,

Thanks for the new version.

We have a new warning on the autobuilder:

WARNING: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: [log_check] core-image-minimal: found 1 warning message in the logfile:
[log_check] Warning: skipped OpenPGP checks for 38 packages from repository: oe-repo

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/11/builds/3196
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/16/builds/3256

It appears with most tested configurations.

Also, we have an error that is probably related to this series:

Maybe only when building with musl:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/3/builds/3284
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/6/builds/3252

And finally we have this one:
ERROR: dnf-5.4.0.0-r0 do_package: Didn't find service unit 'dnf5-makecache.service', specified in SYSTEMD_SERVICE:dnf.

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/17/builds/3063

Can you have a look at these issues?

Thanks,
Mathieu
