Actual Behavior

ENV NEO4J_HOME="/var/lib/neo4j"

<..snip..>
    && mv "${NEO4J_HOME}"/data /data \
    && mv "${NEO4J_HOME}"/logs /logs \

@flip111 Nice use of build flags! Need to repro the condition... Ping me on Discord, so we can investigate

[flip111]

Not sure what your discord handle is

[Kyle Quest]

@flip111 my discord handle is in my github profile. try this to see if you still getting the same behavior: https://github.com/mintoolkit/mint/releases/tag/1.41.1 I tried it with a Neo4J container image and it seems to be ok there. Note that you'll need to add the --include-new=false flag to the build/slim command otherwise the minified container image will exit right after it starts.

I will close this for now because the build has changed in some ways that the problem doesn't occur. I will re-open and try to make a reproducible test when it goes wrong again. Thanks for the help!
