"make all" creates "fatal error" with "submodule 'ocrd_fileformat'" (but goes on...)

[stefanCCS]

I just have tried to setup a new ocrd_all using Release 2023-06-14 (maybe plus some additional changes as of today).
I do a native setup on non-GPU environment (Ubuntu 22.04. using Python 3.8 via "deadsnakes").

With make all I get this error, but the make itself runs further until end successfully:

--> is this "fatal" error "harmful" ?

Yes, I have seen this as well. I am also puzzled why despite the fatal qualifier, it does go on to update recursively.

I don't see this in any of my builds from the last two years. Strange.

Please try running git submodule status --recursive ocrd_fileformat and git submodule update --init --recursive ocrd_fileformat manually. Which of both commands fails?
