Description
Describe the bug
The runner cannot be started due to a missing requirement.
Couldn't find a valid ICU package installed on the system
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- start a AmazonLinux2023 AMI, for instance ami-00169914e6299b8e0 in eu-west-1
- download and unpack actions-runner-linux-x64-2.303.0.tar.gz
- run after config.sh, run.sh and see error
Expected behavior
Running runner
Runner Version and Platform
runner-v2.303

What's not working?
./run.sh
Libicu's dependencies is missing for Dotnet Core 6.0
Execute sudo ./bin/installdependencies.sh to install any missing Dotnet Core 6.0 dependencies.
Process terminated. Couldn't find a valid ICU package installed on the system. Please install libicu using your package manager and try again. Alternatively you can set the configuration flag System.Globalization.Invariant to true if you want to run with no globalization support. Please see https://aka.ms/dotnet-missing-libicu for more information.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with the supplied AmazonLinux2023 AMI and runner-v2.303. Inspect bin/installdependencies.sh and the startup path used by config.sh and run.sh, comparing the installed dependencies with the reported ICU requirement. Done means the documented runner package starts successfully on AmazonLinux2023 without the ICU failure.
