Error: Uncaught Exception: spawn tail ENOENT

[schajuli]

Getting this error since today without any changes ... what's the cause?

Edit: Some context, it suddenly stopped running by today and a new start immediately crashes ... I have not changed anything, but don't know either how to fix it?

When I try to rebuild it fails as well ....

Edit2: Strangely I get this on two independent systems for my test and my productive environment ... no good?
