Documentation updates around liblttng-ust0

[myoung34]

Describe the enhancement

Documentation around the liblttng-ust0 package requirement

The issue is that debian (specifically sid and the upcoming bookworm) are moving to liblttng-ust1 vs liblttng-ust0
Im having to add some logic around which one to install but Im not sure what needs this under the hood and if the difference in whatever uts1 vs uts0 is, but this will likely cause issues for other actions project maintainers

Code Snippet

Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy is out as well and liblttng-ust0 is being attempted to be installed in installdependencies.sh.

For now I have to switch to an older distro because of this.

I've also come across this issue today. Here are the steps to reproduce with docker:

docker run --rm -it ubuntu:22.04

# now inside container
apt-get update
apt-get install --yes curl

# these steps taken from the releases page
mkdir actions-runner && cd actions-runner
curl -O -L https://github.com/actions/runner/releases/download/v2.293.0/actions-runner-linux-x64-2.293.0.tar.gz
tar xzf ./actions-runner-linux-x64-2.293.0.tar.gz

# this script fails
./bin/installdependencies.sh

Failure output

@chingc youre using 2.293.0 which was released 11 days ago.
The fix for this (#1946) was made 6 days ago

It's not been backported. You'll need to wait for a new version to come out to get a new installdependencies.sh or pull down the file directly at https://github.com/actions/runner/blob/main/src/Misc/layoutbin/installdependencies.sh

[myoung34]

@chingc v2.294.0 is out so this should be resolved now

[chingc]

@myoung34 I just tried the new version and no longer run into the issue. Thank you!

You need to install liblttng-ust1 with newer Ubuntu/Debian versions. The runner scripts should be able to use either
