Workaround

Run kayobe seed vm deprovision

Edit the variable seed_vm_root_image to use a newer image.

From within the source tree described in the README, the variable is found in the file ~/kayobe/config/src/kayobe-config/etc/kayobe/seed-vm.yml

Set this variable to point to a rocky 9.3 image:

diff --git a/etc/kayobe/seed-vm.yml b/etc/kayobe/seed-vm.yml
