Hi,

Thanks for the upgrade.

It looks like the reproducibility is failing on groff:

  File "/srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible/build/layers/openembedded-core/meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/cases/reproducible.py", line 407, in test_reproducible_builds
    self.fail('\n'.join(fails))
AssertionError: The following deb packages are different and not in exclusion list:
/srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible/build/build-st/reproducibleB-extended/tmp/deploy/deb/./x86-64-v3/groff-doc_1.24.0-r0_amd64.deb
The following ipk packages are different and not in exclusion list:
/srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible/build/build-st/reproducibleB-extended/tmp/deploy/ipk/./x86-64-v3/groff-doc_1.24.0-r0_x86-64-v3.ipk
The following rpm packages are different and not in exclusion list:

Diffoscope output can be found here:
https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/repro-fail/oe-reproducible-20260308-55s2cjsh/packages/diff-html/

At first glance, it seems the issue is the doc pdf which is not stable.

Can you have a look at it?

Thanks,
Mathieu
