What you have here *is* the log as Cuirass saw it, but…

It turns out zstd, in this case, was already built on the node it got it
from, so the log just shows that.

I admit this is suboptimal.  From the perspective of Cuirass though, it
looks like “business as usual”, and it cannot really be distinguished
from a situation where the thing actually got built.
