20822	Not able to import an OVA and converting the virtual disk to VDI	paaguti-u		"

I'm using the official Ubuntu focal cloud image in ova format downloaded from

https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/focal/current

I try to import it with the command:
{{{
VBoxManage import focal-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova
  --options importtovdi   --vsys 0 --vmname focal-osm11
           --memory 8192 --cpus 2 --eula accept
           --unit 9 --ignore
}}}
Note: I use the importtovdi to be able to resize the disk

I get the following error
{{{
