But it is not due to any changes there, as can be confirmed by [rerunning](https://github.com/EliahKagan/GitPython/actions/runs/22020552577/job/66318957233) the workflow. This resembles the old resolved issue https://github.com/Vampire/setup-wsl/issues/77, but I'm not sure if the cause is actually related. I've opened a new issue https://github.com/Vampire/setup-wsl/issues/82 for it.\n\nI think we can solve this here by putting the distribution back to Debian (or Ubuntu). When doing so, the extra Alpine-specific code for installing `bash` should be removed. I'll do this unless some way of getting Alpine to work becomes apparent soon.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/EliahKagan","@type":"Person","name":"EliahKagan"},"datePublished":"2026-03-09T16:24:41.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/2107/GitPython/issues/2107"}
