Upgrading immich_postgres from 14-vectorchord0.3.0 to 14-vectorchord0.4.1-pgvectors0.2.0 fails on Rasperry Pi 5

The bug

I tried updating to the latest immich docker-compose.yml according to the latest release notes and also tried upgrading the postgres as suggested to use the new vectorchord 0.4.1/0.4.2 (14-vectorchord0.4.1-pgvectors0.2.0).

Unfortunately this fails at startup of the postgres container with

Using SSD storage

...

Using the previous version 14-vectorchord0.3.0 works/worked without any issues (both with and without -pgvectors0.2.0) and gives following output:

Reproduction steps

1. shut down existing immich stack on docker
2. modify docker-compose.yml, replace the postgres-image from ghcr.io/immich-app/postgres:14-vectorchord0.3.0 with ghcr.io/immich-app/postgres:14-vectorchord0.4.1-pgvectors0.2.0
3. start the immich stack again
