Re: Deploying with Dockerfile: error: Unable to locate package python3.8

[George (Cloud Platform Support)]

How does your deploy command look like? It should look similar to: gcloud app deploy --image-url=LOCATION-docker.pkg.dev/PROJECT-ID/REPOSITORY/IMAGE:TAG. 

The error message invites us to look at logs. If we ask for logs here, we risk getting your private information visible in a publicly visible thread like this one. If you think there is a fault on App Engine Flexible side, you may consider opening an issut in the Public Issue Tracker. This discussion group is oriented more towards general opinions, trends, and issues of general nature touching the App Engine. For technical details such as these, you may consider checking stackoverflow or similar.

I am using this Dockerfile to deploy to App Engine Flexible environment:

RUN virtualenv /env -p python3.8
ENV VIRTUAL_ENV /env
ENV PATH /env/bin:$PATH

etc.

I've been using this configuration for at least a year and deploy to GCP regularly. I haven't installed or updated any libraries and only changed some Python code. As of this Friday (1/21/2022) morning, when I try to deploy I'm getting these errors:
