Hi Jaeyoon,

Thanks for your patch.

It looks like this is generating build errors in some condition. So far
it only shows during the reproducibility test:

2026-01-28 16:57:19,382 - oe-selftest - INFO -       ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 
'apt' (but 
/srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible/build/layers/openembedded-core/meta/recipes-sato/images/core-image-sato.bb,
 
/srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible/build/layers/openembedded-core/meta/recipes-extended/images/core-image-full-cmdline.bb,
 
/srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible/build/layers/openembedded-core/meta/recipes-graphics/images/core-image-weston.bb
 RDEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)
2026-01-28 16:57:19,382 - oe-selftest - INFO -       apt was skipped: Recipe 
apt, package apt: normal groupname "nogroup" does not have a static ID defined. 
Add nogroup to one of these files: 
/srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/reproducible/build/build-st/meta-selftest/files/static-group

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/37/builds/3270

Can you have a look at the issue?

Thanks,
Mathieu
