What's the problem it possibly supposed to be? Thanks.

I have similar issues. My setup is documented in #32878.

[quickwind]

same problem here, any one is looking into this yet?

BTW, retry will succeed.

For me restarting the Docker worked.

devicemapper was deprecated and removed.
Let me close this ticket for now, as it looks like it went stale.
