I have the same problem- when I try "flash release", after very briefly displaying "unpacking bootloader", it comes up with "Error: t.hasOwn is not a function"
I'm using Ubuntu 20.04LTS with Brave, all shields removed, to install onto a Pixel 6a. I don't have the usb cable that came with it, but I have one from an older smart phone and another an MP3 player. I have plugged these directly into the motherboard, not the hub at the front.
Reading other people's issues, it seems like the cable is a common problem, so if there are no other ideas that will be my next step.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thank you!
