I changed all my URLs to add trailing / and the complaint disappeared.

Switching to the latest version in git triggered another error:

+ git -C /live-build log -1

I tracked it down to the f74ace02de45966c436139fc267098333bb544ba commit
with an innocent commit message of just reformatting the code:

https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build/-/commit/f74ace02de45966c436139fc267098333bb544ba

This pipeline works for the commit
78449b77a5b94480006d10bafb981fded6cce6de right before:

https://gitlab.com/debdistutils/tacos/live/-/jobs/12615971373

But fails on the commit after f74ace02de45966c436139fc267098333bb544ba:

https://gitlab.com/debdistutils/tacos/live/-/jobs/12615979195

+ git -C /live-build log -1
commit f74ace02de45966c436139fc267098333bb544ba
...
mount: /builds/debdistutils/tacos/live/chroot/dev/console: special device 
/dev/console does not exist.

Any ideas?
