Yea, it's clearly corrupted - the file is empty. I don't understand how that can happen, particularly without any visible error. I certainly can't reproduce it when installing the packages exactly the same way it happens for the image. I also don't think this happened before, despite the recipe for building the images not having meaningfully changed in quite a while. So it must be some rare edge case. > I wonder if this will magically fix itself when the next CI image > build cron job kicks off.

Hopefully that'll fix it. Greetings, Andres Freund
