Generate fails with ERROR [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "/res/img/photos/..."

My app is running just fine in dev mode, but when I build, it fails with this error:

ERROR  [vite]:
Rollup failed to resolve import "/res/img/photos/photo-27.jpg" from "/Volumes/Data/.../site/pages/blog/index.vue".

This is most likely unintended because it can break your application at runtime.

If you do want to externalize this module explicitly add it to `build.rollupOptions.external`


The images are all stored in the public folder, and referenced like this:

<img src="/res/img/photos/photo-27.jpg">


Am I missing something?
