Today, after performing a standard update via the admin panel, the update was blocked and when trying to perform the procedure manually with `./launcher rebuild app` this did not work for the first time 🫤, and it gave me the following error:

```plaintext
FAILED
--------------------
Pups::ExecError: cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake themes:update assets:precompile' failed with return #<Process::Status: pid 754 exit 1>

Location of failure: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/pups-1.1.1/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:117:in `spawn'
exec failed with the params {"cd"=>"$home", "hook"=>"assets_precompile", "cmd"=>["su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake themes:update assets:precompile'"]}

bootstrap failed with exit code 1

**FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one.
./discourse-doctor may help diagnose the problem.

```

Any suggestion to fix this?
