You don't say what QEMU version you're using.

If it's the version from Ubuntu 18.04, that is now really
quite old, so I would start by trying a newer QEMU.

You should also use a newer Ubuntu, because (a) 18.04
is no longer supported as a build platform for current
QEMU and (b) 18.04 fell out of security support last year,
so you're already overdue to migrate away from it.

If nothing else, a newer QEMU has improved that particular
error message so it gives better detail about exactly
what binary blobs are overlapping and causing the problem.
