CICD: attempt to read file content in GH yaml

It is very strange that in some yaml files the $(<release-version) construct
works just fine, but in others it evaluates to an empty string, even though the
file is there an has the correct content.

Attempting to get more debugging info and also use a different expression to
extract the information.
