CI (ARM): Errors were encountered while processing: libc-bin (Segmentation fault)

Problem

Even after fixing the OCI build recently per 5c76e11 and 75f3ca1, it now fails for ARM when trying to install libc-bin on the GHA runner, which uses Ubuntu.

Previous CI runs displayed:

ubuntu-latest pipelines will use ubuntu-24.04 soon. For more details, see actions/runner-images#10636

Q: Maybe downgrading to Ubuntu 22 will remedy the problem without much ado?

• CI: Fix OCI build for ARM by running it on Ubuntu 22 #209

A: No, it didn't.

Possibly related?

Indeed. We needed to follow the suggestion actions/runner-images#11471 (comment) by @ashwin153 to fix OCI builds for ARM. Thank you so much!
