Seems to be the same issue as #543 and the github runners updating from 20.04 to 22.04. There are no tarballs for 22.04 for any python 3.6.* versions. The fix may just be to hard-code the platform version to ubuntu-20.04 like @albertz did with https://github.com/rwth-i6/returnn/commit/38ecab17d781c4b74db6a174c8097187380b4ddc

Hello everyone. Python 3.6 reached end-of-life on Dec 12, 2021. Therefore, we won’t be supporting it with new versions of our hosted runners. If you need Python 3.6, it’s still available on ubuntu-20.04. There are a couple reasons we stop supporting end-of-life versions. They no longer have maintenance support, so there’s no path forward for fixing bugs or security issues. Also, they tend to run into compat issues with dependencies on newer operating systems, which is a source of confusing bugs.

For now I’m going to close the issue.
