Problem description / Motivation

We're currently using alpine 3.16. We should update to the latest (3.19).

3.16 EOLs on May 2024-05-23

Feature idea(s) / DoD

All alpine images used are updated to 3.19, or whatever the latest is when this issues is resolved.

Implementation ideas

See previous attempt here: #530.

This is difficult primarily because of the copying of shared libraries that we do in vm-builder. It may be easier to first audit all the commands we use, then run ldd on them to see the shared libraries, and derive a new list from scratch, rather than by trial-and-error.

I checked the repository for version 3.15 which is end-of-life since a year. The repository is still up and usable at https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.15/main/x86_64/. So at least we should still be able to build against it. But of course no more security updates, so we should upgrade in any case.

This is not urgent because we can still build. We don't have the capacity to fix this now, will look at this in June.
