It looks like this is failing with musl:

ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 'libxcrypt-dev' (but /srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/musl-qemuarm64/build/layers/openembedded-core/meta/recipes-devtools/perl/perl_5.42.0.bb RDEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)
libxcrypt RPROVIDES libxcrypt-dev but was skipped: PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/crypt set to musl, not libxcrypt

Can you have a look at the issue?

Thanks,
Mathieu
