Scope of Impact

This issue specifically impacts the installation of Metadata during the EBX Container Edition (ECE) build process. If your image creation or environment setup does not involve a Metadata installation step, you will not be affected.

The following EBX Container Edition versions are impacted when performing Metadata setup:

• ECE 6.2.0 (including HF-1 through HF-5)
• ECE 6.2.1 (including HF-1 through HF-3)
• ECE 6.2.2 (including HF-1 through HF-4)

Status and Next Steps
Our engineering team is currently integrating the supported version pin into the official ECE source code for future versions.

Mandatory Workaround

To restore stability to the Metadata installation, you must manually pin the Pipenv version within the build configuration script.
To do so, locate the files/build-images.sh file and update the installation command as follows:

• Replace 

  pip3 install pipenv

• with 

  pip3 install pipenv==2025.0.4

Applying this change ensures that the Metadata installation utilizes a stable Pipenv version from the 2025 release cycle.

On March 18 and 19, 2026, Pipenv released new versions (2026.2.x) that introduced breaking changes. Because EBX Container Edition does not currently pin a specific version for Pipenv, the latest version of this tool (incompatible with Container Edition) is automatically installed during the image creation process, leading to build failures.
