There's a recent update of the libcap-dev package (from 2.66-5ubuntu2.2 to 1:2.66-5ubuntu2.4) in Ubuntu 24.04, causing the package list built into the runner image to be out of date, and the build job failure.

Always run apt-get update before installing packages to prevent such problem.

Something is still broken on FreeBSD …

Yes, and I didn't yet know how to fix it...

If I read the log correctly it fails to setup the FreeBSD ports and thus fails to correctly initialize the VM, thus SSH not being able to connect … At least that's how I'd read things …

The FreeBSD part of the issue seems to have fixed upstream.
