Description Ross Burton 2022-10-10 14:27:52 UTC 
I just did a build using the autobuilder sstate with dunfell. It re-used perl-native from sstate, tried to build liberror-perl, and failed:

| DEBUG: Executing shell function do_configure

Permission Denied because I'm not running as pokybuild, but it's trying to access that user's home directory.

see a similar report from past https://www.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2016-November/247137.html

Dunfell is EOL and I've not seen this since, so maybe that did fix it.
