Error: Version X with arch x64 not found

Describe the bug
I am attempting to use setup-python with a self-hosted runner running on an ec2 instance. I am using this ami ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-bionic-18.04-amd64-server-20201112. I have followed the instructions here. I am getting the following output when the setup-python action is run:

It's unclear what is actually failing as it seems to be finding the 3.7.7 python version and installs it and then it fails after installing pip.

Which version of the action are you using?

v1
v2
Some other tag (such as v2.0.1 or master)

Environment

self-hosted
Linux
Windows
Mac

If applicable, please specify if you're using a container

Python Versions
Please list all of the effected versions of Python (3.8.2, etc.)
Tried 3.7.7, 3.10.0-alpha.2

Additional context
Here's the script that launches the runner:

#!/bin/bash -xe
apt-get update -y
apt-get upgrade -y
${local.apt-get-all-packages}
sudo usermod -a -G docker ubuntu
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
export RUNNER_ALLOW_RUNASROOT=true
export AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY=/opt/hostedtoolcache
mkdir actions-runner
mkdir /opt/hostedtoolcache
cd actions-runner
curl -O -L https://github.com/actions/runner/releases/download/v${var.runner-version}/actions-runner-linux-x64-${var.runner-version}.tar.gz
tar xzf ./actions-runner-linux-x64-${var.runner-version}.tar.gz
./config.sh --url https://github.com/${var.owner}/${var.repository} --token ${var.github-registration-token} --name "actions-runner-$(hostname)" --unattended
sudo ./svc.sh install
sudo ./svc.sh start

For me the same.
I use https://github.com/nektos/act for testing Github actions locally.

I got

Found these related issues: #89 and #92

The root of this issue seems to be that the tool-cache library function for fetching the cache directory (https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/master/packages/tool-cache/src/tool-cache.ts#L693) is using RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE but this is set to /actions-runner/_work/_tool instead of /opt/hostedtoolcache. Setting RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE (within the self-hosted runner or the actions yml) seems to have no effect and I haven't been able to determine yet how the default is getting set.

I was able to figure out a workaround that seems ok. Not fully tested yet for possible side effects.

If I modify the setup script to create a symlink from /opt/hostedtoolcache to the directory it expects for RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE, everything installs correctly. So my modified script is now:

#!/bin/bash -xe
apt-get update -y
apt-get upgrade -y
${local.apt-get-all-packages}
sudo usermod -a -G docker ubuntu
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
export RUNNER_ALLOW_RUNASROOT=true
export AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY=/opt/hostedtoolcache
mkdir actions-runner
mkdir /opt/hostedtoolcache
cd actions-runner

# Make /actions-runner/_work
mkdir _work

# Link /opt/hostedtoolcache as /actions-runner/_work/_tool
ln -s /opt/hostedtoolcache _work/_tool

curl -O -L https://github.com/actions/runner/releases/download/v${var.runner-version}/actions-runner-linux-x64-${var.runner-version}.tar.gz
tar xzf ./actions-runner-linux-x64-${var.runner-version}.tar.gz
./config.sh --url https://github.com/${var.owner}/${var.repository} --token ${var.github-registration-token} --name "actions-runner-$(hostname)" --unattended
sudo ./svc.sh install
sudo ./svc.sh start

Unrelated to the problem of the author, but I initially thought I had the same problem:
I used debian instead of ubuntu, thus it did not work.

Mabye helpful for other stumbling over this

@meiswjn

@meiswjn You can use Debian with creating /etc/lsb-release like Ubuntu. If you use Debian 10, /etc/lsb-release should be same as Ubuntu 18.04 like this.

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=bionic
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04 LTS"

Any chance this issue get attention?

Still not dead, and still wanting this issue to get attention. Someone alive?

@kldavis4 How did your workaround end up long term? Still working well?

Got it thanks your reply

@abarragan-adtriba

@abarragan-adtriba ok I understand. So this seems like a limitation of act, I will report there. With act one is supposed to be able to obtain a docker image of the same OS that is used in Github for running the actions. From your message I understand that the Apple Silicon chips can't be used to run those os images.

Our Github actions runner is hosted in a containerized docker container.
I had the same issues when using the option

runs-on: [self-hosted]

Changing this too

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

did the trick for me.

@0x78f1935

@0x78f1935 ubuntu-latest is a bad practice as you could have read on the thread, this was the reason people (myself included) got into this problem because that's a dynamic tag.

ubuntu-latest is a bad practice as you could have read on the thread,

Didn't see someone mentioning it was bad practice. Perhaps I read past it, but at the end of the day I can see why. Thanks for mentioning this!

In addition the comment made by abarragan-adtriba was very helpful.

In my case, wanting Python 3.11.1, I should use ubuntu-22.04 instead.
Again, thanks for pointing this out!

In my case I was doing something stupid. Maybe this will help someone.
- name: Set up Python
  uses: actions/setup-python@v4
  with:
    python-version: 3.10
3.10 is just a number in yaml and gets interpreted as version 3.1. Changed it to "3.10" and it worked (with ubuntu-latest).

This was the missing piece. It's working now.

"ubuntu-latest" is not a good configuration method because this version is variable. When a new version comes out, it may cause other incompatibility issues.
