Hi,

Thanks for adding tests.

Yet, it looks like this test is always failing. I had the issue both on
the autobuilder and locally:

2026-04-22 13:30:16,318 - oe-selftest - INFO - usergrouptests.UserGroupTests.test_useradd_depends_only (subunit.RemotedTestCase)
2026-04-22 13:30:16,332 - oe-selftest - INFO -  ... FAIL
...
ERROR: usegroup-deponly-1.0-r0 do_unpack: S should be set relative to UNPACKDIR, e.g. replace WORKDIR with UNPACKDIR in "S = ${WORKDIR}/sources"
ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: /srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/oe-selftest-debian/build/build-st-409425/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/usegroup-deponly/1.0/temp/log.do_unpack.2060861
NOTE: recipe usegroup-deponly-1.0-r0: task do_unpack: Failed
ERROR: Task (/srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/oe-selftest-debian/build/build-st-409425/meta-selftest/recipes-test/selftest-users/usegroup-deponly.bb:do_unpack) failed with exit code '1'

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/35/builds/3719
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/48/builds/3606

So I believe the issue does not code from the test, but from the recipe
itself.

Can you have a look at the issue?

Thanks,
Mathieu
