CircleCI Error processing tar file

You're seeing the error:

> failed to register layer: Error processing tar file(exit status 1): Container ID ... cannot be mapped to a host ID

Because that Docker image has one or more files owned by a Linux user with too high a UID/GID. You or the image maintainer will have to rebuild this image and ensure a user with a lower UID/GID owns those files. You can find more information [on this page in our docs](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/high-uid-error/)
