Hello @anwesha . Thank you for information.

Is the description of `community-ee-minimal` and `community-ee-base` reversed?  
`community-ee-minimal` does not seem to contain any collections.

```yaml
$ ansible-navigator images --eei ghcr.io/ansible-community/community-ee-minimal:2.16.0-1 -m stdout -d ansible_collections
---
ansible_collections:
  details: {}
  errors:
  - |-
    ERROR! - None of the provided paths were usable. Please specify a valid path with --collections-path
image_name: ghcr.io/ansible-community/community-ee-minimal:2.16.0-1

```

```yaml
$ ansible-navigator images --eei ghcr.io/ansible-community/community-ee-base:2.16.0-1 -m stdout -d ansible_collections
---
ansible_collections:
  details:
    ansible.posix: 1.5.4
    ansible.utils: 2.11.0
    ansible.windows: 2.1.0
image_name: ghcr.io/ansible-community/community-ee-base:2.16.0-1

```
