Splunkbase app not installed when using SPLUNK_APPS_URL

[dd-Splunk]

If the compose.yml file contains a reference to a SPLUNKBASE app URL like:

  so1:
    environment:
      SPLUNK_APPS_URL: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1924/release/7.2.1/download
      SPLUNK_PASSWORD: <password>
      SPLUNK_STANDALONE_URL: so1
      SPLUNK_START_ARGS: --accept-license
      SPLUNKBASE_PASSWORD: <sb_password>
      SPLUNKBASE_USERNAME: <sb_user>
      TZ: Europe/Brussels

the container fails to start with the following error message:
