[Bug 2065497] [NEW] local restore fails (non-fatal) when run on ubuntu-base noble arm64 image

[theofficialgman]

Public bug reported:

When run on a ubuntu-base image (currently testing ubuntu noble arm64
base images), the following query results in an error


    dpkg --verify --verify-format rpm | awk '$2 ~ /\/usr\/share\/locale/ {print $2}' | sed 's|/[^/]*$||' | sort | uniq \
         | xargs --no-run-if-empty dpkg -S | sed 's|, |\n|g;s|: [^:]*$||' | uniq | DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive xargs --no-run-if-empty apt-get install --reinstall -y


terminal output

Restoring system translations...
dpkg-query: error: --search needs at least one file name pattern argument

I have run the command manually after and do not get the same error.... I am not sure why it is happening within the script but it is repeatable.
