We are trying to import products into Magento 2.2.5, but whenever we run the import, we get the following error:
Imported resource (image) could not be downloaded from external resource due to timeout or access permissions in row(s): 1
The odd thing about this is that there are no images defined in the CSV that we're trying to import. Here's a sample of the CSV:
sku,store_view_code,attribute_set_code,product_type,categories,product_websites,name,description,short_description,weight,product_online,tax_class_name,visibility,price,special_price,special_price_from_date,special_price_to_date,url_key,meta_title,meta_keywords,meta_description,created_at,updated_at,new_from_date,new_to_date,display_product_options_in,map_price,msrp_price,map_enabled,gift_message_available,custom_design,custom_design_from,custom_design_to,custom_layout_update,page_layout,product_options_container,msrp_display_actual_price_type,country_of_manufacture,additional_attributes,qty,out_of_stock_qty,use_config_min_qty,is_qty_decimal,allow_backorders,use_config_backorders,min_cart_qty,use_config_min_sale_qty,max_cart_qty,use_config_max_sale_qty,is_in_stock,notify_on_stock_below,use_config_notify_stock_qty,manage_stock,use_config_manage_stock,use_config_qty_increments,qty_increments,use_config_enable_qty_inc,enable_qty_increments,is_decimal_divided,website_id,deferred_stock_update,use_config_deferred_stock_update,related_skus,crosssell_skus,upsell_skus,hide_from_product_page,custom_options,base_image

As you can see, the base_image column is empty, and I don't understand why Magento is generating this error. We have already tried to import images using this format, and received the error, but I thought that removing the images would at least allow us to import products, but this doesn't seem to be the case.
Has anyone encountered this problem and know a possible fix so that we can import our products into 2.2.5?
I have already tried the solutions on StackExchange and the official Magento forum (including the hotfix listed), but none of them have worked.
