Why Am I Getting 'ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence' Error During an Ansible Automation Platform installation?
Issue
The installation of Ansible Automation Platform fails on ansible.automation_platform_installer.automationcontroller : Allocate subuids for awx user

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence
