Hi Pratik,

It looks like the ptest recipe is failing reproducibility tests:

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/log4cplus-ptest_2.2.1-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/log4cplus-ptest_2.2.1-r0_x86-64-v3.ipk
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/log4cplus-ptest-2.2.1-r0.x86_64_v3.rpm

Diffoscope output can be found here:

Can you have a look at the issue?

Thanks,
Mathieu
