I took test-ibm-ubuntu1804-x64-1 offline as it was failing pip --no-user and so lints were never passing #3273
Description
I was pinged in Slack by @Qard about the lint job failing repeatedly. I took it to #nodejs-build and you can see the conversation at https://openjs-foundation.slack.com/archives/C03BJP63CH0/p1680236357000469.
test-ibm-ubuntu-1804-x64-1 was getting a lot of this:
python3 -m pip install --no-user --upgrade -t tools/pip/site-packages flake8 || \
21:24:11 python3 -m pip install --no-user --upgrade --system -t tools/pip/site-packages flake8
21:24:12
21:24:12 Usage:
21:24:12 /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install [options] <requirement specifier> [package-index-options] ...
21:24:12 /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install [options] -r <requirements file> [package-index-options] ...
21:24:12 /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install [options] [-e] <vcs project url> ...
21:24:12 /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install [options] [-e] <local project path> ...
21:24:12 /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install [options] <archive url/path> ...
21:24:12
21:24:12 no such option: --no-user
When I took it offline and the job ended up running on test-equinix-ubuntu2204-x64-1, it passed.
@nodejs/python (I'm guessing/hoping @cclauss will have an immediate recommended/preferred solution. I'm not sure if pip doesn't support no-user anymore or if the version of pip we're running on that machine must be an old one or something else.)
