I think the USERADD_DEPENDS variable should also be checked if it is set also extending the tests in selftest-users, something like: # usegroup1.bb: SUMMARY = "usegroupb1" LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://${COMMON_LICENSE_DIR}/MIT;md5=0835ade698e0bcf8506ecda2f7b4f302" LICENSE = "MIT" USERADD_DEPENDS = "dcreategroup" S = "${WORKDIR}" EXCLUDE_FROM_WORLD="1" inherit useradd allarch USERADD_PACKAGES = "${PN}" TESTDIR = "${D}${sysconfdir}/creategroup" do_install() { install -d ${TESTDIR} install -d ${TESTDIR}/dir touch ${TESTDIR}/file ln -s ./file ${TESTDIR}/symlink install -d ${TESTDIR}/fifotest mkfifo ${TESTDIR}/fifotest/fifo chown d_user:d_group ${TESTDIR}/file chown -R d_user:b_group ${TESTDIR}/dir chown -h d_user:d_group ${TESTDIR}/symlink chown -R d_user:b_group ${TESTDIR}/fifotest } 101961 1 randy.macleod 2025-05-15 14:43:30 +0000 Yoann or Ludovic to send a patch, hopefully. 103195 2 yoann.congal 2025-11-06 10:57:03 +0000 Bulk move to 6.0 M1 104954 3 yoann.congal 2026-04-03 09:25:41 +0000 (Unassigning myself since a do not realistically have the time to work on this) 104986 4 yoann.congal 2026-04-08 18:51:09 +0000 Patches sent: https://lore.kernel.org/openembedded-core/20260408150003.18063-1-zizuzacker@gmail.com/T/#t 105207 5 yoann.congal 2026-04-23 11:25:33 +0000 v3: https://lore.kernel.org/openembedded-core/20260423100405.25255-1-zizuzacker@gmail.com/T/#u 106584 6 mathieu.dubois-briand 2026-08-20 13:03:57 +0000 Patches merged: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=8ad8c52d7cad06b0f3f6e5099db43bb64845bab4 https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=36eac58184a22ba972f8613bd9f564e0f6bd1680 https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=09a901b9874f76e665fb4ba9e537703a792011e3
