Upgrading Spring Boot to 2.5.9 and getting FileNotFoundException: class path ...../boot/actuate/health/HealthAggregator.class] cannot be opened

Question

I am getting a FileNotFoundException during Spring Boot initiation for org/springframework/boot/actuate/health/HealthAggregator.class. This seem related to https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/19860 but that was back in 2.2.

I have tried different versions of Spring Boot, 2.5.9 etc, different versions of Spring Cloud, etc.

Any thoughts on how I can resolved this?

Key parts of my POM

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.6.2</version>
    <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->

    <spring-cloud.version>2021.0.0</spring-cloud.version>
