Hi Paul, I tried to report this upstream but issue creation is restricted on the libarchive GitHub repository here:
https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/issues For the cd, since the script uses #!/bin/sh (pushd/popd aren't POSIX), Can i use cd "$PTEST_DIR"? here. I have sent a v2 with this proposed fix.

It would be good to get the test cases fixed so they can handle whatever inode numbers are allocated. > > Signed-off-by: Pratik Farkase <[email protected]> > --- > .../libarchive/libarchive/run-ptest | 16 +++++++++++++++- > 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/meta/recipes-extended/libarchive/libarchive/run-ptest > b/meta/recipes-extended/libarchive/libarchive/run-ptest > index d6b4c3f934..7f61e1b173 100755 > --- a/meta/recipes-extended/libarchive/libarchive/run-ptest > +++ b/meta/recipes-extended/libarchive/libarchive/run-ptest > @@ -1,13 +1,24 @@ > #!/bin/sh > > +PTEST_DIR=$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd) > + > # The fuzz tests run 1000 randomised iterations per archive format and are > # meant for dedicated fuzzing infrastructure, not routine ptest runs.
