Toolbox Python error

[examedia-video-engineering]

Hello,

it seems all runs well until this toolbox command: toolbox run -c cef-buildbox python3 /cef/automate-git.py --download-dir=$PWD/cef-build --branch=5195 --no-distrib --no-build
All git files are unchanged, running on clean install Ubuntu 24 AWS EC2 instance with x86 CPU.
cef-build-box .txt
LINE 4193 in the atatched file.

STDOUT:
