The fix provided by #1833 doesn't appear to work due to describe being a const.
Steps to reproduce
In cmd/build.go, set describe to an empty string. Then try to build:
❯ go build \
-trimpath -ldflags="-s -w" -buildvcs=false \
-o "clairctl-windows-arm64" \
./cmd/clairctl
# github.com/quay/clair/v4/cmd
cmd/build.go:88:37: invalid argument: index 0 out of bounds [0:0]
