Error while installing cli on debian

[I065450]

Describe the bug and the command you saw an issue with:

the following code to install cf cli stopped working since last version,
I have check and the documentation for installation didn't changed.

curl -s https://packages.cloudfoundry.org/debian/cli.cloudfoundry.org.key | apt-key add - &&
echo "deb https://packages.cloudfoundry.org/debian stable main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudfoundry-cli.list &&
apt-get update &&
apt-get install -y cf8-cli

What happened:

our code started to fail since last version of CLI, here is the error we get:

Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure

Expected behavior:

CLI installed

Exact Steps To Reproduce:

run installation code as above on debian

Provide more context:

the code is part of our docker file

Same issue when installing on debian bullseye. We suspect the OS used to build the debian package was changed to Ubuntu 22+ which uses the xstd compression which is not supported everywhere, hence why it breaks on non Ubuntu 22 OS.

Same problem here.

Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Release: 11
Codename: bullseye

Hi, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

@xandroc and I were able to reproduce this issue on a Debian container. As a workaround for now, you should be able to install the previous version by running apt install -y cf8-cli=8.5.0.

Our post-release QA is performed on the Ubuntu container and works as expected. We will look into this issue.

@xandroc and I suspect some dependencies changed in this job.
This is where we are compressing Debian packages.
Our working theory is that GitHub Actions ubuntu-latest here got updated deb that uses a new type of compression between 8.5.0 and 8.6.0 cf cli releases.

Thanks, this is what we have done for now,
We are waiting for a solution.

Should be solved with v8.6.1
