Description

See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11963?focusedCommentId=17303664&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-17303664 and the comment below it.

There are some circumstances where the build does not succeed, but the catch for that (to print a useful error) is not being triggered.
