Follow-up Comment #5, bug #62681 (project octave):

What I observed is similar to that of @cbm. I've seen the problem only
occurring inside containers but not locally.

There're 3 possibilities I could think of.

1. root privilege is used inside containers but not locally
2. install paths inside containers are different from what we use locally
3. environment variables inside containers are different from what we use
locally

I've tried dropping root privilege using "sudo -u nobody ..." (actually the
correct way to do it in Debian-based distros is to use "setpriv ..." but we're
testing only) inside containers but the problem doesn't go away, so maybe we
can rule out 1.
