Public bug reported:
This issue has already been identified and fixed in the (upstream?)
github repository:
https://github.com/ibm-s390-linux/s390-tools/commit/63ff07ba38dda99e2661a097d05266555c727a2e
The issue fixed by the revert linked above is causing Cloudware Oracular
download image builds to fail on s390x. From the image build log:
```

The fix is in the github repo but not yet released. The LP builders for
Oracular are using version 2.33.1, which contains the bug.
