Hi All, I am new to mender and I am trying out mender convert docker image **mendersoftware/mender-convert:maste** for converting the image **agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-raspberrypi4-64.img** I am running the command: **MENDER\_GRUB\_KERNEL\_IMAGETYPE=“vmlinuz” MENDER\_ARTIFACT\_NAME=“release-1” ./docker-mender-convert --disk-image input/agl-raspberry.img --config configs/raspberrypi4\_config** and got the error dpkg failed with error code 127 and stopped execution after sudo cp work/boot/kernel7l.img work/rootfs/boot/zImage cp: cannot stat ‘work/boot/kernel7l.img’: No such file or directory when I checked log file , I found sudo chroot /mender-convert/work/rootfs/ /tmp/qemu-aarch64-static /usr/bin/env env DEBIAN\_FRONTEND=noninteractive DEVICE\_TYPE=raspberrypi4 dpkg --install /tmp/mender-snapshot\_1.0.0-1+debian+buster\_arm64.deb /usr/bin/env: ‘dpkg’: No such file or directory It also throws an error VERSION\_CODENAME : unbound variable But when I exec inside the container , i can see it has dpkg installed How to resolve this issue ? ---
