Alma Linux builds are broken due to base issues
Metadata
Current evaluation
Open downstream tracker for unresolved craft-application#455: Alma Linux builds fail due to incompatible base detection; almalinux@9 remains supported, but Alma CI re-enablement was never merged.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: This is a maintainer-authored downstream tracker for canonical/craft-application#455, whose issue summary says it was closed without a code fix; the referenced charmcraft#1824 was also closed unmerged while attempting to re-enable Alma spread tests. Charmcraft still advertises almalinux@9, while the current manual spread matrix has no Alma task, so the reported failure has no evidence of resolution; the only comment is an automated Jira acknowledgment.
