Failed to prepare seahub avatars dir

Running a fresh install using Docker Compose I run into this issue:

Having the same problem, did you manage to figure it out?

Have found more people with the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/seafile/comments/10c36u8/anyone_try_to_deploy_seafile_docker_image_lately/

I have the same issue. I checked the filesystem and it looks like the 'groups' in avatars folder is corrupt. The rmdir and other commands cannot delete this folder. I removed the avatar rm/mv/ln handling from the /scripts/upgrade.py
