Reproducibility of some packages is broken on Ubuntu 25.10. Looking quickly at the diffoscope output, it appears that some generated files are not ordered in the same way. 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/grub-efi_2.12-r0_amd64.deb /srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible/build/build-st/reproducibleB-extended/tmp/deploy/deb/./x86-64-v3/grub_2.12-r0_amd64.deb /srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible/build/build-st/reproducibleB-extended/tmp/deploy/deb/./x86-64-v3/libc6-src_2.42+git0+e34453cd6a-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/grub-efi_2.12-r0_x86-64-v3.ipk /srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible/build/build-st/reproducibleB-extended/tmp/deploy/ipk/./x86-64-v3/grub_2.12-r0_x86-64-v3.ipk /srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible/build/build-st/reproducibleB-extended/tmp/deploy/ipk/./x86-64-v3/libc6-src_2.42+git0+e34453cd6a-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/grub-2.12-r0.x86_64_v3.rpm /srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible/build/build-st/reproducibleB-extended/tmp/deploy/rpm/./x86_64_v3/grub-efi-2.12-r0.x86_64_v3.rpm /srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible/build/build-st/reproducibleB-extended/tmp/deploy/rpm/./x86_64_v3/libc6-src-2.42+git0+e34453cd6a-r0.x86_64_v3.rpm

kanavin: RP paulbarker yep, confirmed. it is gawk. different output between versions 5.2.1 and 5.3.2
https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/226675
So what is going on: different versions of gawk (5.2.1 and 5.3.2, for instance) produce different output (ordering-wise), reliably and deterministically. One way to observe it is with current glibc in oe-core master: alex@Zen2:/srv/storage/alex/yocto/build-64/tmp/work/x86-64-v3-poky-linux/glibc/2.42+git/sources/glibc-2.42+git/posix$ gawk -f ../scripts/gen-posix-conf-vars.awk posix-conf-vars.list|less (run on different hosts to get the varying gawk versions, or use gawk-native vs host gawk, and you'll see the reported reproducibility difference directly)
Fixed in oe-core c5bbf0a60b1 (gawk: use native gawk when building glibc and grub, 2025-11-21).
