Getting error "attempting to execute the process .../pip"

[tomdtp]

Description:
I am receiving an error message when running the CI, which is:

Run actions/setup-python@v4

/usr/bin/docker exec  47d5533689e05c9f17b55f1237300dc760ccb1afc3a7608da7cde431b7a12dc3 sh -c "cat /etc/*release | grep ^ID"
Installed versions
/__t/Python/3.10.12/x64/bin/pip cache dir

Error: There was an error when attempting to execute the process '/__t/Python/3.10.12/x64/bin/pip'. This may indicate the process failed to start. Error: spawn /__t/Python/3.10.12/x64/bin/pip ENOENT

Action version:
v4

Platform:

• Ubuntu
• macOS
• Windows

Runner type:

• Hosted
• Self-hosted

Tools version:
3.10.12

Repro steps:
I am using a container based on https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pkgs/container/gdal (ubuntu-small-latest) in my build. I had to install lsb_release already to get it running, but now I am getting the error mentioned above.

In my action I am using:

    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: "3.10"
          cache: "pip"

Expected behavior:
It should work just fine.

Actual behavior:
It fails with the error mentioned above.

Hello @tomdtp. Thank you for your report. We'll take a look at the issue.

Getting a similar error when trying to set up Python with caching enabled after installing lsb_release. This feels like an extension of #556.

I have the same error. I am using a fairly small base container too.

Same error, is there any workaround or fix for this?
