I guess xz-utils is not installed by default? It's part of the default environment:

This is not related to the runner being used. I ran with act -P ubuntu-latest=nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04 -j deploy and see the same issue. I noticed that actions/setup-java was working fine with the following output:

When I switched the order of setup-java and flutter-action, the first command always succeeds. This might be related to https://github.com/actions/toolkit/issues/642
