Rule-all deployment specs should match(%d, %d)

Error message

Rule-all deployment specs should match(%d, %d)

What it means

ValidateCip byte-compared the ChaincodeDeploymentSpec fields of the base and other package and they differ. All owner-endorsed packages must embed the exact same deployment spec (same chaincode code package) for the endorsements to be collatable.

Solutions

1. Ensure all owners sign the identical chaincode package bytes
2. Rebuild and redistribute the deployment spec to every owner and redo signing
