Tag Immutability off but can't override image, which is not even present [ECR ARM] Issue

[hasante]

Please let us know how we can improve the EKS ARM preview program. This can be a bug report, feature, or functionality request.

Describe the issue
I initially set a tag immutability check on, so no tags can be overwritten
I turned it off so I can have a stable latest tag to work with.
Now all is set but when am overwriting the latest tag, I get this error in my codebuild process:
...

To Reproduce
First set tag immutability on your AWS ECR image repository and push and then off and push again. Thats how I experienced this

From my point of view there should be some way to exclude alias tags from the tag immutability. Maybe some regex which would allow to overwrite latest, branch name ...

Right now it is all or nothing. We use specific tags based on commit id for deployments. But is is also very convenient that a developer can just fetch the latest image without knowing the last commit id. This means we are not able to use this feature...

We haven’t been able to reproduce this issue, could you let us know if this is still happening?

It's been a long time since I experienced this issue, however from what I remember, after deleting the Image, and setting the tag immutability on and off again.

I could not replace it, basically as reported in my reported issue
