Error when building an EE without requirements.yml

[NotAFile]

The behaviour of #290 appears to have returned again:

execution-image.yml

requirements.yml

@NotAFile Thanks for reporting this issue. I can reproduce this error when requirements.yml file is without any requirements.

The error message in the original description is incorrect. Correct error being produced is:

[3/4] STEP 11/13: COPY --from=galaxy /usr/share/ansible /usr/share/ansible
Error: building at STEP "COPY --from=galaxy /usr/share/ansible /usr/share/ansible": checking on sources under "/var/lib/containers/storage/overlay/55a1a8f1f359696d8dedc18b4bae914608e3504b7743ac031230f0b831480f61/merged": copier: stat: "/usr/share/ansible": no such file or directory

Doesn't seem that it has reappeared since I tested with both devel branch and version 3.0 and the error is in both.

Not sure how to deal with this quite yet since we don't parse the Galaxy file (simply pass it along to ansible-galaxy) and there is otherwise no indicator that anything was actually installed (thus producing the /usr/share/ansible directory). It might be best to simply create this as an empty directory up front, then the COPY command should not fail.
