[Halld-offline] [EXTERNAL] ccdb not working on any platform right now

[Richard Jones]

Sean,

Not only does ccdb not work "out of the box" on alma9, it doesn't even work
"out of the box" on Centos7 / RHEL7. Here is the simplest possible test
carried out on ifarm (no container, just plain bash shell), following the
Minimum Installation instructions on the ccdb wiki. Probably should pause
here until this package is working on Centos7 again? After that we can
start thinking about alma9.

#That is it! Check it works
