As per the conversation on the community slack, we had a quick look just now and we have seemed to validate the error appears on the base image, but when tesing across other images it seems it may not affect the running of seldon core containers - have you seen behaviour that shows otherwise? If so it would be great if you could share with us a manifest that we could use to reproduce
