pkgconfigdeps.sh unconditionally emits /usr/bin/pkg-config as a hard

pkg-config is a host-only build tool not needed on the target rootfs,

/usr/bin/pkg-config file dependency, "bitbake core-image-sato -c

- Fixed the filtering of the /usr/bin/pkg-config file dependency.
pkg-config is a build-time tool, not a runtime dependency. Filtered
the /usr/bin/pkg-config dependency automatically detected by
pkgconfig.attr for packages containing .pc files, preventing
unnecessary hard runtime dependencies in -dev packages.
- Removed v8 libarchive-related changes since the latest version
(3.8.8) already includes the required updates.
- Fixed the "oe-selftest -r debuginfod.Debuginfod.test_debuginfod_native"
failure observed after upgrading to 6.0.2.
- Verified that previously reported Autobuilder issues are no longer
observed.

Hi Sumanth,
Thanks for the new version.
It does look better, but we still have a lot of errors. First, another

Hi Mathieu,
In V11 patch
0001-pkgconfigdeps.sh-Do-not-emit-usr-bin-pkg-config-as-a.patch should
resolve the "pkgconfig could not invoke dnf" error"
I have successfully verified the following:
bitbake core-image-sato-sdk:do_populate_sdk
bitbake core-image-sato-sdk:do_rootfs
Both completed successfully on my side.
Could you please verify again and let me know if you still encounter the
issue?
Below is my local.conf:
MACHINE ??= "qemux86-64"
PACKAGE_CLASSES = "package_rpm package_deb package_ipk"
INHERIT += 'image-buildinfo'
IMAGE_BUILDINFO_VARS:append = ' IMAGE_BASENAME IMAGE_NAME'
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = ' ssh-pregen-hostkeys'
SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS = ''
OEQA_TESTDISPLAY = ':1'
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES ?= 'allow-empty-password empty-root-password
allow-root-login'
#OE_FRAGMENTS += 'machine/qemux86-64 distro/poky'
IMAGE_CLASSES += "testimage"
Mathieu please confirm but since Sumanth is new,
I want to point out that we have a long history of people occasionally
not being able to reproduce
(all of) the errors that the YP autobuilder (AB) encounters.
This is usually because:
1. they only have one or two host distros at hand and/or
2. they don't re-use sstate cache between distros like YP AB does.
In this case, the build failure links were from:
A. https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/68/builds/4362
Rocky 8.8 worker 1
and
B. https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/19/builds/4253
Debian 11 worker 3
It is never clear what distro the sstate cache is pulled in from since
it's designed be distro-independent.
I'm not going to look at the other build failure links.
This package upgrade is particularly tricky so I'm going to ask Sundeep
to help Sumanth with
running some customer YP AB builds if Mathieu thinks that's a good idea.
Due to the timzone
difference between Sumanth (in Texas) and Sundeep (in India), this might
not happen until next week.
Hold on there guys, we'll get this figured out soon hopefully.
