Cannot deploy controller in 1.5.1 - open ./v1.26.1/_definitions.json: no such file or directory

[fruboes]

Describe the bug
I'm unable to deploy nginx ingress controller in openshift 4.12.22. Operator installs OK, but when creating the controller I get the following error in operator logs:

{"level":"error","ts":"2023-08-25T10:27:59Z","msg":"Reconciler error","controller":"nginxingress-controller","object":{"name":"nginxingress-sample","namespace":"nginx-ingress-operator-system"},"namespace":"nginx-ingress-operator-system","name":"nginxingress-sample","reconcileID":"4d7d8252-1a84-4d1b-a31b-8b3689b46f97","error":"failed to install release: values don't meet the specifications of the schema(s) in the following chart(s):\nnginx-ingress:\nopen ./v1.26.1/_definitions.json: no such file or directory","stacktrace":"sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(*Controller).reconcileHandler\n\t/go/pkg/mod/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime@v0.14.5/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:329\nsigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(*Controller).processNextWorkItem\n\t/go/pkg/mod/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime@v0.14.5/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:274\nsigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(*Controller).Start.func2.2\n\t/go/pkg/mod/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime@v0.14.5/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:235"}

and controller is not created (i.e. no controller pods are running)

To Reproduce
Install v1.5.1 operator (I tried both OLM and manual installs) and try creating ingress controller. It gives the error above. v1.5.0 runs ok.

Expected behavior
Deploy controller successfully

Your environment

• Version of the NGINX Ingress Operator - 1.5.1
• Kubernetes platform (e.g. Mini-kube or GCP): openshift 4.12.22
• Using NGINX or NGINX Plus: nginx
