Discussion:
> The remote-apis-testing test for pants is failing in remote execution. https://gitlab.com/remote-apis-testing/remote-apis-testing/-/jobs/1275989846
> ```

Note that there is now an issue and a Merge request for this on the remote-apis-testing repo.

Issue: https://gitlab.com/remote-apis-testing/remote-apis-testing/-/issues/121
Merge Request: https://gitlab.com/remote-apis-testing/remote-apis-testing/-/merge_requests/244

The CI pipeline on this new Merge Request confirms the results of the original CI pipeline.
This can be reproduced using the branch from [remote-apis-testing project](https://gitlab.com/remote-apis-testing/remote-apis-testing/):

```
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/remote-apis-testing/remote-apis-testing.git
$ cd remote-apis-testing
$ git fetch origin merge-requests/244/head:update_pants_sha
$ git checkout update_pants_sha
$ cd docker-compose
$ python -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install cryptography==3.3.2 docker-compose jinja2 ruamel.yaml
$ ./run.sh -g -p -s docker-compose-buildbarn.yml -c docker-compose-pants.yml
```
