We are only getting 1 declared output of the rpm, and not the debug one.
Perhaps this is an RPM version difference?

Apologies - this fell off my radar. Will add it to my TODO list for the next week or so

Also, @aiuto can you give me a bit more detail in terms of where you're seeing this failure?

[aiuto]

No worries. I am weeks behind on all my Bazel projects.

My guess is that it's on a system variant that we've not poked at thusfar. I just opened a PR to add AlmaLinux 9.3, for example.

Can you tell me what the contents of /etc/os-release are on the system where this is failing?

[aiuto]

I get this. It is debian rodete, so rolling release near head.

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux rodete"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux rodete"
VERSION_CODENAME=rodete
