Created attachment 3767 [details] diffoscope output of two debian packages I built core-image-sato in two different folders, at the same time. Same machine, settings, etc. Yet I got a strange differences when comparing glibc-gconv-* packages. (diffoscope files attached) Debian packages show this: build1: Depends:·glibc-gconv build2: Depends:·glibc-gconv,·libc6·(>=·2.25) RPM packages also show even more differences in REQUIRES fields. This affected all glibc-gconv* packages. After this I re-ran the build the third time. The third time the dependencies were the same as the second time (i.e. the "longer version")

Really not shocked by this and I suspect its related to the permissions thing.
Further thoughts: I've seen glibc-locale not generate entire chunks of the packages before.

The issue is still present, even after the commit http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?h=master-next&id=06669f0f9e0f954ce08a958abde0639a4fa006aa which I had high hopes for. The buildhistories for the same package: RDEPENDS = glibc (>= 2.26) glibc-gconv RDEPENDS = glibc-gconv Unfortunately, this affects all gconv packages (all good or bad at the same time).

Still encountered on occasions even with 2.5 as of 385944254d0ef88bd6450a221a54cbcb40020b42 Depends:·glibc-gconv,·libc6·(>=·2.26) Depends:·glibc-gconv (see the attachement, two ipk packages)
I'm not convinced, but there's a chance this is related to the long standing glibc-locale determinism problem. Closing unless we see it again.
