Github action yaml

steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - uses: pkgxdev/setup@v1
      with:
        +: [email protected]
    - name: python version
      run: |
        python --version

Error

The above action fails with the following error.

python: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by /home/ec2-user/.pkgx/python.org/v3.8.18/bin/../lib/libpython3.8.so.1.0)

python: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /home/ec2-user/.pkgx/python.org/v3.8.18/bin/../lib/libpython3.8.so.1.0)

Yes, aml2 uses a glibc one minor version older than Debian buster, which is what we build on. I've been trying to crack a glibc build so we can bypass this issue on older Linux glibcs, but it's tricky. Very tricky.
