tree is missing on ubuntu-24.04

[kachick]

Description

tree command is missing on ubuntu-24.04, but it is present on ubuntu-22.04 and ubuntu-20.04.
Is this an intentional change?

• tree is not listed in Installed Software.
• I agree, "tree" is not a vital package.

related issue: #9848

Workaround

Adding this step resolved my problem but added a few seconds to complete runs.

      - name: Install tree command
        run: sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends --assume-yes tree
