Errors when following docs for multiple private repositories: Could not resolve hostname ?

[ARPP3]

Bug description

After following instructions for multiple private GitHub repositories, the builder still fails to pull packages due to SSH hostname resolution errors.

This is the error message:

com.example.package: Error when executing git command. ssh: Could not resolve hostname key-somehashwashere.github.com: Name or service not known
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

Where somehashwashere is a 64-character hexadecimal string and com.example.package is my package name. I have 3 packages that all fail similarly with their own hostname not being able to resolve. I believe the error might lie in the step "Prepare SSH config for unity builder" copied from the documentation.

How to reproduce

I have 3 repositories hosted privately, and I followed the instructions as best I understood them. For each private repository, I generated a private/public key on my computer, and I used the git formatted URL as described in the docs so it can be used as a deploy key. This was done for each of my 3 private projects, the public keys were added to their individual deploy settings and the private keys were created as named secrets in my repository that I am trying to build.

Expected behavior

Package manager is able to download packages from private repositories

Additional details

• The owner of the 3 private repositories is an organization I created but I am testing this with my personal account. I have access and I loaded the deploy keys directly to them.
• I tested with a single private SSH key previously but this resulted in a different error ( Error when executing git command. ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/bin/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory. Host key verification failed. )
• I had the same error about ssh_askpass with a public repository in the package manifest so I switched the protocol to HTTPS in the package manifest file, resolving it (since it was not private)
• I am using GitHub runners, not self-hosted. So they should be consistent

Hey, I had the same issue not being able to resolve the hostname on a github runner. I moved my packages to be local packages tracked in the repository, but this would be nice if it could get resolved.
