[CI][Release] Source Release and Merge Script jobs are currently failing on GHA

[raulcd]

Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.

This has been raised on Zulip.
The jobs for Source Release and Merge Script are failing on several PRs and master. Example of failures:

• https://github.com/apache/arrow/actions/runs/3687535449
• MINOR: [Docs][Python] Add example of not nullable type in Schema #14926
• https://github.com/apache/arrow/actions/runs/3693047779/jobs/6252584126

From what I understand the error seems to be around the following not being found (but I might be mistaken as the output is quite difficult to follow):

 -   :path=>"java/adapter/avro/pom.xml"},
-  {:hunks=>
-    [["-        <version>11.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>",
-      "+        <version>12.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>"]],
-   :path=>"java/adapter/jdbc/pom.xml"},
-  {:hunks=>
-    [["-        <version>11.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>",
-      "+        <version>12.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>"]],
-   :path=>"java/adapter/orc/pom.xml"},
-  {:hunks=>
-    [["-    <version>11.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>",
-      "+    <version>12.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>"]],

I can't find any change lately that might be the cause. The first commit on master that seems to fail due to this issue is unrelated: 4647739

I've checked and the GitHub runner seems to be exactly the same (no version updates) between a successful run:
https://github.com/apache/arrow/actions/runs/3692289538/jobs/6251037794
and a failure one:
https://github.com/apache/arrow/actions/runs/3693047779/jobs/6252584126

@kou any idea what could be the issue?

It seems that mvn version:set in dev/release/utils-prepare.sh doesn't update java/adapter/*/pom.xml but why...?

[kou]

I reran the succeeded build and it failed now: https://github.com/apache/arrow/actions/runs/3692289538/jobs/6264959209

It means that this is not related to our changes. It's related to CI environment.

I think that mojohaus/versions#848 is the problem.

This seems to work now on my last PR the jobs were successful: https://github.com/apache/arrow/actions/runs/3706180881/jobs/6281060893
