Pinning the runner image version to ubuntu-20.04 resolved the issue

Can we re-open this issue? It seems like it's still a bug if we now need to track ubuntu versions rather than referencing ubuntu-latest

Hello @bweisberger !
The ubuntu-latest tag is being migrated to Ubuntu 22.04 (see details in the related announcement). We have not built Python 3.9.11 for Ubuntu 22.04. Python 3.9 is available for installation on Ubuntu 22.04 starting with Python 3.9.12. Could you please switch to the Python 3.9.12 (or higher) or specify Python version as 3.9 to install the latest available patch version?

    - name: Set up Python
      uses: actions/setup-python@v4
      with:
        python-version: '3.9'

@MaksimZhukov Thanks for the guidance, I went ahead and truncated our python-version from 3.9.11 to 3.9, and I'm now pointed at ubuntu-20.04 instead of ubuntu-latest. I appreciate the link to the announcement, I had missed that.

@atayardimci I'm fine closing this issue again, with @MaksimZhukov's guidance that we can continue using ubuntu-latest with this action and point at python-version: 3.9 instead of 3.9.11. I'll leave it to you, thank you for re-opening.

act -P ubuntu-20.04=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-22.04

This one worked for me. Could not get the standard image to work with any of the workarounds.
