After installing electrs according to the instruction.
Launching electrs gives an error:

DEBUG - opening DB at "data/electrs-db/regtest"
thread 'main' panicked at 'missing tip: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000', src/util.rs:158:40

Way to reproduce:
launch in one terminal: start-bitcoind.sh , wait 5 sec, then in other start-electrs.sh
