fix(ci): add missing build dependencies to e2e Docker image

[jdx]

Summary

• Add autoconf, cargo, libncurses-dev to e2e Docker image
• Fixes all 8 failing e2e jobs:
  • test_cargo_compile_slow, test_cargo_binstall_slow, test_cargo_features_slow, test_cargo_compile_git_slow: cargo not installed
  • test_erlang_slow: missing autoconf and libncurses-dev
  • test_vfox_python_slow, test_node_slow, test_gem_slow: already fixed by fix(ci): add Ruby build dependencies to e2e Docker image #8910

Test plan

• Reproduced all failures on bamboo
• Verified Erlang 27.2 builds with autoconf + libncurses-dev
• Verified Python 3.12.0, Node, Ruby all build with current deps
• Docker image build triggered: https://github.com/jdx/mise/actions/runs/23987561675

Note

Low Risk
Low risk: only expands the e2e CI Docker image build dependencies; main risk is slightly larger image size or package version conflicts affecting CI builds.

Overview
Updates the e2e test Docker image to install additional build dependencies (autoconf, cargo, libncurses-dev) so tool/plugin builds that rely on Rust and certain native libraries succeed in CI.

Code Review

This pull request updates the e2e Dockerfile by adding autoconf, cargo, and libncurses-dev to the package installation list. The review suggests replacing the apt-get installation of cargo with rustup to ensure a more predictable and manageable Rust toolchain version, providing a specific implementation example for this improvement.

[gemini-code-assist]

While adding cargo here fixes the immediate CI failures, installing it via apt-get can result in an older, less predictable version of the Rust toolchain. This could cause future build failures if the code under test starts using newer Rust features.

A more robust approach would be to use rustup, the official Rust toolchain installer. This allows you to pin a specific version or always use the latest stable one.

Consider removing cargo from this list and adding a step to install it via rustup later in the RUN block. You could also symlink the binaries to make them available on the PATH, similar to how Node.js is handled in this Dockerfile.

Example:

# In the RUN block, after apt-get
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh -s -- -y
ln -s /root/.cargo/bin/cargo /usr/local/bin/cargo
ln -s /root/.cargo/bin/rustc /usr/local/bin/rustc
# ... and any other rust tools needed

Greptile Summary

This PR adds three missing build dependencies (autoconf, cargo, and libncurses-dev) to packaging/e2e/Dockerfile, fixing 8 failing e2e CI jobs caused by the new Dockerised e2e test environment introduced in a prior PR.

• Adds autoconf and libncurses-dev for Erlang 27.2 compilation (test_erlang_slow) — OTP's ./configure script requires autoconf, and libncurses-dev is needed for curses/terminal support during the OTP build
• Adds cargo via apt for all four cargo-backend e2e tests (test_cargo_compile_slow, test_cargo_binstall_slow, test_cargo_features_slow, test_cargo_compile_git_slow) — each of these begins with require_cmd cargo, which aborts the test if cargo is not on PATH
• Ubuntu 25.04 ships Rust 1.80.1; eza 0.18.24 has an MSRV of 1.77.2 and cargo-edit 0.12.3 has an MSRV of 1.73.0, so the apt-provided cargo satisfies the requirements for these tests
• The change is a minimal, targeted one-file diff with no logic changes — each added package maps directly to a documented test failure

Confidence Score: 4/5

Safe to merge — one-file Dockerfile change adding well-understood apt packages with no logic modifications

Score of 4 (not 5) only because Ubuntu 26.04 is a brand-new release and the exact rustc/cargo version in its apt repositories has not been independently confirmed in this review, though Ubuntu 25.04 ships 1.80.1 which already exceeds all relevant MSRVs. No other concerns.

No files require special attention; packaging/e2e/Dockerfile is the only changed file and its change is straightforward

Important Files Changed
