Packer: Bug: v1.3.0 duration_block_minutes must be positive

[rtopiwala-oportun]

After trying the new build from #6692 there's an error regarding duration_block_minutes, see below. duration_block_minutes is not specified in the template, is it required to have a value when using spot_price? the template is exactly the same as the one posted in #6692
