Hi Anders,

that helped a bit, but now I seem to run into some recursion problem during the test pahse of the package.
It tries to find a iocsh command file in :

/home/wuestenf/micromamba/envs/conda-build/conda-bld/iocstats_1773318749191/_test_env_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placeho/ep/iocStats.iocsh

which does not exists, becaus it should end with placehold/epics_modules/iocstat/iocStat.iocsh.
Do you have an idea how this path name is constructed?
I am using the following packages in my environment:
