Do not use pipes for building & uploading packages because:
* They spawn more jobs on Bintray for metadata generation - each upload is
done in a separate session.
* Bintray doesn't handle well concurrent uploads and metadata can be corrupted.
This happened in all recent builds of platform independent packages - in
each upload task file had a same name and that triggered problem with metadata.
* Using delays for workaround for a problem described above works, but isn't
safe.
Should fix following error:
E: Failed to fetch https://dl.bintray.com/termux/termux-packages-24/all/apt-transport-tor_1.4.9-14_all.deb Hash Sum mismatch
Hashes of expected file:
- SHA256:cdbe9700180918d2e195ff580443f5f4fedd1f8bfded8cd461b170ffcc7af05a
- SHA1:9432727cfa86af2250c20fd7494b243eb4fa3dda [weak]
- Filesize:844 [weak]
- same as happened with packages geoip2-database and ecj.
CI periodically shows error like
Failed to decrypt some environment variables
so it will be better to stop immediately when environment is inconsistent
for unknown reason (e.g. due to Github's problems).
All platform independent packages affected by this issue. Results in
persistent apt error like:

Fixes following error while using `dpkg -l`:
dpkg-query: error: showing package list on pager subprocess returned error exit status 127
Note: in recent bootstrap archives `less` is already installed and is marked as essential.
Should help with following dpkg errors:
dpkg: warning: 'rm' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: error: 1 expected program not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: warning: 'diff' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: error: 1 expected program not found in PATH or not executable
