```

**Anything else we need to know?**:

**Environment**:
- EKS Anywhere Release: v0.17.3
- EKS Distro Release:

Start with Makefile targets at lines 353 and 524, then inspect hack/ensure-packer.sh and the logged image-builder command. Reproduce the Ubuntu bare-metal build with the documented command and determine why .local/bin/packer is missing. Done means the Packer invocation starts successfully and the image build proceeds past this error.
