Does not build on default GitLab CI Docker image

[l0b0]

Describe the bug

I'm unable to build on the official ruby:2.5 Docker image using Cargo from the official repos.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run docker run --entrypoint=bash --interactive --tty ruby:2.5
2. Inside of the container, run apt-get update && apt-get install --assume-yes --no-install-recommends --reinstall cargo && cargo install nixpkgs-fmt

Expected behavior

The package should install without issues.

System information

• nixpkgs-fmt --version N/A

Additional context

Actual behavior (2nd try to make the output a bit less verbose):
