ci: Add missing python3-dev package for riscv64
What changed, and why it matters
This commit updates Bitcoin Core's continuous integration (CI) build scripts to install the python3-dev package instead of (or alongside) the base python3 package on two CI environments, including riscv64. It is a build-infrastructure fix, not a change to the Bitcoin node software that users run. There is no indication it fixes a security vulnerability in the Bitcoin protocol or wallet code.
No security action required. Treat as a normal CI/build maintenance change.
Security signals we found
No changes to runtime, consensus, networking, wallet, or RPC code
CI-only dependency list adjustment
No vendor statement of security relevance
No CVE, advisory, or researcher attribution in commit or references
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies CI dependency lists: ci/test/00_setup_env.sh changes the default CI_BASE_PACKAGES from ‘python3’ to ‘python3-dev’, and ci/test/00_setup_env_native_alpine_musl.sh changes ‘python3’ to ‘python3-dev’. The commit message says this is to add the missing python3-dev package for riscv64. This is a build-time dependency correction for CI containers; it does not alter consensus, networking, wallet, or RPC code. No security relevance is stated by the vendor, and no exploit path is visible from the diff.
