ova cannot be imported into vsphere

[Martin-Lierschof]

Bug Report

Version: 1.7.0 and version 1.6.7 ova cannot be imported into vcenter/vsphere

Description

Downloading the file first locally:
https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/releases/download/v1.7.0/vmware-amd64.ova
https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/releases/download/v1.6.7/vmware-amd64.ova
https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/releases/download/v1.6.5/vmware-amd64.ova

When importing via govc:

• govc library.import -n vmlibname contentlibname ./vmware-amd64-1.7.0.ova fails
• govc library.import -n vmlibname contentlibname ./vmware-amd64-1.6.7.ova fails
• govc library.import -n vmlibname contentlibname ./vmware-amd64-1.6.5.ova works

Same behavior is when importing it via the web ui of vsphere.
1.6.6 not tested.

There were similar bugreports already, but there were no changes in the way VMWare images are built. Can you please gather some more logs from VMWare / contact VMWare support to figure out the problem?

We're happy to fix, but we have zero idea on what is wrong.

As far as I know, this is an error for vmware, not talos.
I am using script uploading image to vsphere like this govc library.import -n talos-drbd-170 k8s-talos "./talos-drbd-170.ova".
Image tested from v1.6.0 to v1.7.1, all good.
