Description Paul Barker 2026-08-06 15:25:00 UTC 
Following up on bug #14957, two parallel rename/symlink test cases were added to pseudo:
  - https://git.yoctoproject.org/pseudo/tree/test/test-parallel-rename.sh
  - https://git.yoctoproject.org/pseudo/tree/test/test-parallel-symlinks.sh

We need to fix the race conditions in pseudo so that these pass.

AI analysis of the issue: https://github.com/mhatle/pseudo/commit/91db3c335a7d6c3c140a5fb0dc59d5666c589a34 - definitely needs more work!
Comment 2 Randy MacLeod 2026-08-13 14:32:58 UTC 
We'll work on this in 6.2 and backport to 5.0 if possible.
