Hi,

Thanks for your patch.

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

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/111/builds/2537
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/6/builds/3831
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/3/builds/3868

Can you have a look at the issue?

Thanks,
Mathieu

Can you please explain how to reproduce and observe the issue? We do
run perl ptests on the autobuilder and they do not fail like this. Is
something enabled in your build that standard poky doesn't enable?

This also needs to be explained. Why is this necessary? What does it
do? Does it affect perl build in general, and how?
