This should be fixed by #149248. Have you updated your fork to include yet?

The fix looks good. Thank you
FYI sometimes, the install dependencies entry runs for a very long time (more than 24 mn see https://github.com/YvesDup/cpython/actions/runs/25382453278/job/74434659437). Peharps it's expected.

I presume it was the same issue, it was just retrying and or slow. Thanks for confirming, I'll close.
