Debian x64 builds failing

[richardlau]

All builds on test-digitalocean-debian11-x64-1 and test-rackspace-debian11-x64-1 are failing.

The build logs show Failed to exec spawn helper errors,
e.g. https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-linux/nodes=debian11-x64/61338/console

Most likely suspect is a JRE update.
From the apt history log on test-digitalocean-debian11-x64-1:

Start-Date: 2024-10-22  06:12:50
Commandline: /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade
Upgrade: openjdk-17-jre-headless:amd64 (17.0.12+7-2~deb11u1, 17.0.13+11-1~deb11u1)
End-Date: 2024-10-22  06:12:54

I'll restart the agent on the two Debian 11 x64 machines. We'll probably need to watch the Debian 12 machines too.

https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-linux/nodes=debian12-x64/61341/console failed in a similar way on test-digitalocean-debian12-x64-1. I'll restart the agents on all the Debian x64 machines.

I've restarted the agents on all of the Debian x64 machines.
https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-linux/61345/nodes=debian11-x64/console is running on test-rackspace-debian11-x64-1 and has got past the previously failing git checkout step.
