Hi @0xNLC099 welcome to the /e/ forum.
I think the cause is the use of git-lfs used in /e/ builds now and since about May 2022.
I have taken the following two lines from Week 52, 2022: Development and Testing Updates
- You will have to install git-lfs (sudo apt-get install git-lfs)
- After completing a repo sync, you will have to run repo forall -c ‘git lfs pull’
You will find fuller information near the end of the post in a “hidden” section
ROM Builders - Unofficial and Custom
Having installed git-lfs I would expect it to be fine to just go back to the repo sync stage, run
repo forall -c ‘git lfs pull’
and carry on.
