I am trying to set up a fedora template using salt. This involves both creating the correct template as well as installing some packages on it.
Creating the template works as intended, however when salt is supposed to run on the template to install packages it fails with the following log file.

This does not happen when running the same salt script but for fedora-36 templates.
It does not matter that I do anything specific in my .sls file, it can both be empty or install packages and the failure is the same. It seems like a general failure of salt in the template.
The six.py file is not available in /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/salt/ext/ which is the directory imported in python unless specified with a path. six.py is available inside of /var/tmp/.root_dd8a91_salt/pyall/salt/ext/.
I tried copying the six.py file to /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/salt/ext/ which made it possible to import salt.ext.six but caused further failure when the salt script tries to import queues from six.
I figure it is the wrong approach to try to move around files and make the python dependencies fit together and asking for help is the better approach.
