Checks

• This isn't a question or user support case (For Q&A and community support, go to Discussions. It might also be a good idea to contract with any of contributors and maintainers if your business is so critical and therefore you need priority support
• I've read releasenotes before submitting this issue and I'm sure it's not due to any recently-introduced backward-incompatible changes
• My actions-runner-controller version (v0.x.y) does support the feature
• I've already upgraded ARC (including the CRDs, see charts/actions-runner-controller/docs/UPGRADING.md for details) to the latest and it didn't fix the issue
• I've migrated to the workflow job webhook event (if you using webhook driven scaling)

You can see a lot of history here : actions/setup-python#162

Also, Debian not supported
actions/setup-python#401 (comment)

@Link- What is the point of using debian when it looks like Ubuntu is the most supported and compatible Linux variant for the runners?

Isn't this going to cause endless issues with the GitHub Actions Marketplace that are exclusively built for Ubuntu? This seems like a major miss for the Github ecosystem and community

We will switch to Ubuntu from Debian as of the next runner release (2.305.x+). For anyone who cannot wait until then, we highly recommend that you build and maintain your own runner images.

Our docs are quite comprehensive in this area: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/managing-self-hosted-runners-with-actions-runner-controller/about-actions-runner-controller#about-the-runner-container-image

@simpson No timeline for now.

I noticed also ruby/setup-ruby fails because it supports only Ubuntu.
I'm looking for the new release.

ya the current version is completely useless, hoping it doesn't take long for the next version to release 🤞
