You did not copy anything from the bootstrap.log.

Please, follow my suggestion that I made on Slack:

"""
The message suggest to consult the bootstrap.log , well, do it.
If it does not make sense to you, copy it to boost-users
Please, don't send screenshots, just copy as text from terminal and the file
"""

Best regards,
