It's worrying that this failure is in since 122 already. The longer we
continue to move on happily while this is not fixed, the more issues
might sneak in hidden by these failures.

and the issue prevailed.

Anyone, can spot and try to confirm what change in 122 might have
caused this regression so we can help baloons to nail this?

Since this is already an extended time where we couldn't promote an
image, if you are a core dev planning to do direct uploads that go to
the touch distro, please coordinate your uploads with the LT or wait
until this issue is identified and resolved.

Thanks!
