Home Assistant Will Not Start

Hey,
Has anybody had this issue with hass not starting with systemd?

I have hass set to not be a dynamic user and have created the respective hass user and group and the user being a member of the uucp group. When I run a sudo -u hass <cmd> the ExecStartPre= lines work without issue, but when starting the systemd unit for some reason I get this operation not permitted error. I have been searching google and haven't found any good reason it cannot do it, or any references barely at all for the operation not permitted thing. Maybe file not found or some permission issues but I don't see that happening here, the /var/lib/hass folder has the correct hass user/group, permissions and if the commands are ran manually as above with sudo it works just fine so I don't think it is that. This just happened after some recent update with no other changes. Anybody have any ideas?

Re: Home Assistant Will Not Start

I just tried to install home assistant today and I seem to be running into these errors:
https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/95192

It looks like the package was flagged as out of date today.
