Hi

I’m trying to rebuild an EE, and this is the same build file I built once before, but now it throws an error that I really can’t make head or tails out of. Why did it stop working? What does it even mean?!?

ansible-builder 3.1.0
podman 4.9.3

This is the error I get:

I couldn’t figure it out so I just removed and reinstalled all the tools, and then it works. Yeah, version issues probably. Hate it.

Well it works in the end…
