Empirically, this seems to only run for the first build in a PR. If I later iterate and add commits, only the 3 perl version tests run and result is green :)

So far failed to fix but can reproduce: with Alpine 3.11 it seems the trusted keys have expired vs. "community" repo (with mbuffer). Whether I use newer alpine 3.16 for newer key trust, or ignore security issues, it fails to install mbuffer because:

(list of files on top of log is from added debug find)

So the lib is there, dependency is not resolved, and many googlable issues over the years regarding those keywords :\

[jimklimov]

Seems like best reliable way forward is to install Alpine from main distro, and build/install custom mbuffer :\
