Hi 👋

Thanks for reporting the issue, I am able to reproduce as well. The common-utils Feature was working well with centos OS 7 (like 19 hours ago, see here). We have this scenario which validates it.

However, looks like something changed (in the upstream) which is now making the jq installation fail without the EPEL Repository.

Meanwhile the common-utils Feature is fixed, @t2wei can you add the following statement 👇 to your Dockerfile? It should help you get unblocked. Thanks!

RUN yum install epel-release -y

Mmm, never mind I still see 👇 https://github.com/devcontainers/features/actions/runs/5790698488/job/15694249322#step:4:5786. However, it's strange to see the Feature proceeding even with that error in the action run. Looking 👀

Opened #644 with the fix!
