What you think should happen instead?

It should operate normally when a simple docker compose up is performed.

How to reproduce

curl -LfO 'https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/3.0.0/docker-compose.yaml'

docker compose up -d

This was resolved in #49681

I can confirm this issue is still present.
I tested using the docker-compose.yaml file from the official Airflow docs (https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/3.0.0/docker-compose.yaml) on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS system, without making any modifications. I encountered the same error described above.

이 문제가 여전히 존재하는 것을 확인할 수 있습니다. 공식 Airflow 문서( https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/3.0.0/docker-compose.yaml ) 의 docker-compose.yaml 파일을 사용하여 Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS 시스템에서 아무런 수정 없이 테스트했습니다. 그런데 위에서 설명한 것과 동일한 오류가 발생했습니다.

I'm still having the same problem I think it would be good to refer to the file revised in that PR temporarily.
