Running a C# Azure Functions app on a Premium Elastic Plan using Linux, leveraging some DevExpress libraries that help manipulate MS Office files and PDFs, which apparently depend on gdiplus and I cannot seem to get this thing resolved.
We input the following via the Azure Portal for the Function App -> Configuration -> General settings -> Stack settings -> Startup Command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common && sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main' && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y libc6-dev && sudo apt-get install -y libgdiplus && sudo apt-get install -y libicu-dev && sudo apt-get install -y libharfbuzz0b && sudo apt-get install -y libfontconfig1 && sudo apt-get install -y libfreetype6 && sudo apt-get install -y libpango-1.0-0 && sudo apt-get install -y libpangocairo-1.0 && dotnet MyFunctionApp.dll
- tried the above with and without sudo, made no difference, still get the exception below
- tried entering the above as wrapped in double quotes and prefixed with -c in case it mattered (as that gets passed to docker run command), no difference

Any ideas? I cannot install WSL on this machine to debug locally either. Appreciate any tips.
