Unable to rebuild, 'bundle exec rake assets:precompile' failed

Installation
1

I have a discourse installation, installed with standard install steps. For the first time, I tried modifying app.yml to update SMTP settings, and then I ran ./launcher rebuild app and it fails with:

FAILED
--------------------
Pups::ExecError: cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake assets:precompile' failed with return #<Process::Status: pid 521 exit 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.
==================== END REBUILD LOG ====================

Iā€™m on Ubuntu 14.04.6 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-57-generic x86_64), with Discourse version 2.4.0.beta8 (e7bd288d7b).

I ran ./discourse-doctor, but that contains the same error with no further information.

Any ideas?

How do I further debug this? Should I manually run cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake assets:precompile' to see what happens?

This is my first time using Discourse. It is a vanilla Discourse installation with no plugins, and I simply tried to update SMTP settings in app.yml then rebuild as mentioned in How to modify email settings.

Ah ok, looks like this is the cause:
