... This is a transient network timeout when downloading Ant from archive.apache.org: This is unrelated to the GLIBC compatibility fix. The logs show:
This is a known intermittent issue with Apache's archive servers. The test should pass on retry as the network issue is temporary. |

AlmaLinux 8 test scenarios were failing with
GLIBC_2.30 not foundwhen SDKMAN's native CLI binaries attempted to execute. RHEL 8 family distributions (AlmaLinux 8, Rocky 8, RHEL 8) ship with GLIBC 2.28 and cannot upgrade without breaking binary compatibility.Changes
The fix uses a triple approach to ensure no native binaries are present or used on RHEL 8 systems:
SDKMAN_NATIVE_VERSION="false"environment variable to request no native binaries${SDKMAN_DIR}/etc/configto disable native version usage${SDKMAN_DIR}/libexecdirectory if it existsThis comprehensive approach ensures SDKMAN uses only the shell-based CLI on RHEL 8 family systems. The shell-based CLI has no special GLIBC requirements and provides identical functionality - the native CLI is purely a performance optimization for management commands.
Only affects RHEL 8 family; other distributions continue using native binaries for better performance.
