The problem is that nothing is being run - "0 didn't need to be > rerun " - so the built package is never cleaned. This issue is present when > running all clean commands - clean, cleanall, cleansstate. "0 didn't need to be rerun" does not mean nothing was done - it means the opposite. The number reported here is the number of tasks that were able to be restored from shared state - none (0) in this case because this is not applicable to the clean* tasks.
