PHP Error 'failed opening required ... /vendor/autoload.php' and Release 2.1.17 tar file missing 'vendor' directory

Hello, I am attempting to update my puppet module for Webtrees and am confused by a missing 'vendor' directory in the release tar file. A fresh installation on Ubuntu 22 produces the error message:

==> nginx/webtrees.staging.error.log <==
2023/10/08 21:26:19 [error] 11635#11635: *1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning:  require(/var/www/webtrees.staging/webtrees-2.1.17/vendor/autoload.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/webtrees.staging/webtrees-2.1.17/index.php on line 29PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Failed opening required '/var/www/webtrees.staging/webtrees-2.1.17/vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/webtrees.staging/webtrees-2.1.17/index.php:29

The puppet module installs webtrees 2.0.19 successfully, but I notice that the release file webtrees-2.1.17.tar.gz is missing a vendor directory while the release file webtrees-2.1.17.zip (a ZIP file) contains this vendor directory.

Is this a mistake in the release?
