Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Storage version 5.1.2 and Azure Functions v. 4.2.0, error: "The specified container already exists", status 409

[MarGraz]

I'm using .net 6 and Azure Function v. 4, and I get the error: "The specified container already exists", status 409.

Those are the dependencies in my project:

    <PackageReference Include="Azure.Extensions.AspNetCore.Configuration.Secrets" Version="1.2.2" />
    <PackageReference Include="Azure.Identity" Version="1.8.2" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Extensions" Version="1.1.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Storage" Version="5.1.2" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions" Version="4.2.0" />

The exception seems to be called by:

BlobContainerClient.CreateIfNotExists ---> BlobContainerClient.Create

it seems to happen in my implementation when I use:

await blobContainerClient.CreateIfNotExistsAsync(PublicAccessType.BlobContainer);

I see this error in Azure Application Insights:

Azure.RequestFailedException: The specified container already exists.

   at Azure.Storage.Blobs.BlobContainerClient.CreateInternal(PublicAccessType publicAccessType, IDictionary`2 metadata, BlobContainerEncryptionScopeOptions encryptionScopeOptions, Boolean async, CancellationToken cancellationToken, String operationName)

Do you know if it is available a fix?

Thank you
