Hi,

Thanks for the new version. It looks a bit better, reproducibility test
passed at least once, but we still have failures in some builds. It
seems to be a similar one:

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 rpm packages are different and not in exclusion list:
/srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible/build/build-st/reproducibleB-extended/tmp/deploy/rpm/./x86_64_v3/groff-doc-1.24.0-r0.x86_64_v3.rpm

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/37/builds/3554

Diffoscope output:
https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/repro-fail/oe-reproducible-20260310-jxtz43x1/packages/diff-html/

Thanks,
Mathieu
