Ubuntu 24.04's glibc 2.39 is older than what nixpkgs' bumped glibc (2.42) now builds bundled libraries against, breaking the "without Nix" portability tests. Ubuntu 26.04 ships glibc 2.43, restoring the host-glibc-ahead-of-nixpkgs invariant the portable bundle relies on.

Wrong approach — this makes CI pass without validating the platform we actually claim to support (Ubuntu 24.04 per README). Reverting; investigating the actual dependency that needs glibc 2.42. |

Summary
nixpkgs_2lock node (whatroot.inputs.nixpkgsactually resolves to) to a pin whosepkgs.glibcis 2.42, up from 2.40. The portable CLI bundle (nix/packages/postgres-portable.nix) deliberately excludes glibc/ld-linux/etc. from the bundle and relies on the host's own glibc at runtime — so this brokelinux-arm64 without Nix/linux-x64 without NixwithGLIBC_2.42' not found.readelf -d) wouldn't catch — trading one loud failure for a class of silent ones.ubuntu-26.04/ubuntu-26.04-armrunner labels.test-portabilityjob's matrix (the one that runs bundled binaries against host glibc) —build-nativebuilds everything inside Nix's own sandbox, so host glibc doesn't matter there.Test plan
