I got an error stating that "python3-pytest contains reference to the build host HOME directory" when attempting the Yocto Project Quick Build. What do I do?

Hi. I am a new user of Yocto Project, and have limited experience with embe=
dded linux in general. I tried to start off by building the Yocto Project Q=
uick Build ( https://docs.yoctoproject.org/brief-yoctoprojectqs/index.html =
) , following the same commands as the tutorial, but when I try to do so I =
get the following errors:

What should I do to fix this?
I am Using Debian 13.5.
