What happened?

0.17.0 did not require that glibc version and it would be useful to have binaries from the website work at least on the latest stable version of major distros.

Version

v0.17.1

What OS are you using?

Linux

Even 0.17.0 built by me (on Fedora 38) doesn't work on Debian bullseye. That's probably dependent on the build system versions and probably relevant to C compiler or libraries used

We still have not tried upgrading to anything beyond 0.17.0 because of this issue since 0.18 and above all say that you nee to be on 0.17.1 first. Debian bookworm also is not quite there yet in terms of third party support to upgrade to that (though that will likely change in the coming weeks).

Root cause is, that Github has updated their ubuntu-latest runner images to 22.04 (https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/6399) and by that introduced https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/6647 for every golang project using the latest runner. You (the devs here) can overcome this by explicitly specifying ubuntu-20.04 runner for now (see for example: https://github.com/hustcer/nushell/commit/e1e48ae842c3bafb90a5ded629648913798f16c0)
