@Ana06, turns out we don't need this package because of changes to bloodhound and neo4j, but do you know why this might be failing? https://github.com/mandiant/VM-Packages/actions/runs/8545039645/job/23412442246

Looked at very similar metapackage addition and couldn't spot the difference. This is what I was comparing to : https://github.com/mandiant/VM-Packages/actions/runs/7749888145/job/21135228735

Hi @Menn1s.

I took a look and it doesn't explicitly say it in that log view and the error is a bit misleading, but it looks to be an issue with the version number which is what the log is also showing.

You put the version number as 3.5.1.2024.04.03, which doesn't conform to the Versioning standard in the wiki noted here: https://github.com/mandiant/VM-Packages/wiki/Package-Structure#version

It should be 3.5.1.20240403. 🙂

Also, if the package is not needed, feel free to close the issue when you are sure that everything is good to go!

As @emtuls said, it is because the invalid version format (you can only use 4th segments, see documentation in the wiki). If you edit the first comment of this issue to correct the version and add the label again, it should work. 😉

@Menn1s

turns out we don't need this package because of changes to bloodhound and neo4j

should we then close this issue? 😃

Issue is good to close, thanks Ana!
