"make qubes-vm" failure

Hello, I’m following the steps outlined in the “Qubes ISO builder” and the directions in this github repo by Andrew Wong: Contents/ubuntu.md at master · Qubes-Community/Contents · GitHub. But I’m not able to get past this error after running the “make qubes-vm” command:

Does anyone have any ideas for what’s going wrong here?

My end goal is to get a ubuntu template and that is why I’m following “the steps outlined in the “Qubes ISO builder” and the directions in this github repo by Andrew Wong: Contents/ubuntu.md at master · Qubes-Community/Contents · GitHub.”

I’m looking for help with this issue so I dont believe I need to go to the qubes-devel group. It would be off topic as I am trying to get help with my current issue rather than add a new feature or fix a bug.

If this is your goal then maybe you’d want to consider

but, if your goal is to get an Ubuntu template by building it (you weren’t specific, sorry), then someone more knowledgeable would have to try to help you.

As @fsflover noted, notice that development discussions should preferably go to qubes-devel.

(also, I’ve updated markdown formatting on your post to be more legible)
