Re: [yocto] 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?

This is unfortunately a false positive in the QA, as pytest upstream
hardcodes '/home/user' into the installed files.

You can work around it by adding to conf/local.conf:

INSANE_SKIP:pn-python3-pytest = "buildpaths"

but we need to add ability to specify exceptions in the QA test.
