packer-maas vmware esxi post-install errors

Hi all,

I've tried muliple ways to build a vmware esxi image using this template but always end up getting the error below. Also, it's looking for a scripts folder which does not exist anymore, does any of you have the same issue or found any solution ? I still get a "dd.gz" file that I'm going to test but wanted to bring this up anyway.
