Can't run linter goanalysis_metalinter: failed prerequisites

[nono]

Sometimes, when running golangci-lint on https://github.com/cozy/cozy-stack, I have a warning about failed_prerequisites:

WARN [runner] Can't run linter goanalysis_metalinter: fact_purity: failed prerequisites: buildssa@github.com/cozy/cozy-stack/model/instance/lifecycle [github.com/cozy/cozy-stack/model/app.test]
