I was trying to import a debian-11 image (debian-11-genericcloud-amd64.raw) using gcloud compute images import command. However it was failing, and looking at the logs it seems that install_apt_packages is failing. What could be the reason for this? There's not much information given in the logs below to dissect it further.
Maybe it's unable to install the GCP guest environment packages due to some network issue? But there isn't much information given about it in the logs unfortunately.
