Actions fails to run on public runner: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgssapi_krb5.so.2: invalid ELF header

[ad-m-ss]

Hello,

I think that action has a regression in the public runner / there is bug in that action.

CI job fails on:

  /usr/lib/git-core/git-remote-https: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgssapi_krb5.so.2: invalid ELF header
  Error: The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 128

In short period of window I have two runs. One passed (runne image: ubuntu-20.04 20240324.1.0), and one failed (runner image ubuntu-20.04 20240403.1.0).

We use that action in workflow in most basic way at first step:

...
jobs:
  test:
    name: Linter & Helm
    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
    steps:
          - uses: actions/checkout@v4          
...

Let me know if you need any further details.

it happens to me as well since yesterday, I opened a discussion about it:
https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/116737
Not enough people are talking about it, happens to me with ubuntu 20.04 and checkout v3 since they changed version yesterday

This is also intermittently to us fairly frequently today.
