Upgrade Failed... line 115 column 9 -e LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Today discourse prompted for updates. When I did, it said do the following:

cd /var/discourse
git pull
./launcher rebuild app

And then threw:
(<unknown>): did not find expected key while parsing a block mapping at line 115 column 9 -e LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Here’s my app.yml

I think it’s the replace stanza at the end. It’s indentation is different from the one above.

Have you edited this since the last upgrade?

I didn’t touch it but it had been an hour so I posted. Even yamllint.com would complaint.

Then I did a regex search and replace to remove all comments and somehow it worked. It’s compiling as I write this. Fingers crossed. If this botches up then I’ll sadly have to give up.
