Alpine can not choose Python Package automatically

[zombozo12]

Hi, I got this error from Gitlab CI. So, Alpine has an issue where it cannot automatically choose the package like the old days. In this case, python is the one that cannot be choose. I might have a temporary solutions for now by using older version of kroniak/ssh-client, like kroniak/ssh-client:3.11. But, I would love suggest to add python package with specified version on this ssh-client.

Errors:
