Hi there,

I am trying to use [question2answer.rb](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/script/import_scripts/question2answer.rb) importer script to migrate my site to the discourse platform. But I am facing the following error during the migration process.

How to fix it? 🤔 I am using the default docker container on a clean ubuntu 18.04.

```
importing users
