Omnibus build failures when Docker image template and CI template changes happen in GitLab's repository
Problem Statement
During incident: gitlab-com/gl-infra/production#7217 (closed)
Builds were failing in Omnibus because builds were unable to poll the correct tag name of the desired image required. As can be seen in the following build pipeline: https://dev.gitlab.org/gitlab/omnibus-gitlab/-/jobs/12894119
To rectify the situation we reverted a change in the gitlab-org/gitlab
repository that introduced the change that was not compatible with omnibus: gitlab!89468 (merged)
