Hello,

I’m installating Discourse on an Intranet environment. It happens sometimes that i encounter this error during rebuild process :

> Pups::ExecError: cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c ‘bundle install --retry 3 --jobs 4’ failed with return #\<Process::Status: pid 645 exit 17\>  
> Location of failure: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/pups-1.2.1/lib/pups/exec\_command.rb:132:in `spawn’

> bootstrap failed with exit code 17

Anyone knows what it could be ?  
Thanks.
