Cannot run android emulator using Command line tools on Linux (PANIC: Broken AVD system path.)

I'm trying to set up Jenkins slave machine for UI tests of an android project. I've run out of ideas how to proceed when I encountered this issue trying to run android emulator:

[myuser@jenkins-slave-002 emulator]$ export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT="/var/lib/android"
[myuser@jenkins-slave-002 emulator]$ ./emulator -avd pixel-2-api28 -no-window -verbose -show-kernel
emulator: Android emulator version 30.0.5.0 (build_id 6306047) (CL:N/A)
emulator: Found AVD name 'pixel-2-api28'
emulator: Found AVD target architecture: x86
emulator: argv[0]: './emulator'; program directory: '/var/lib/android/emulator'
emulator:  Not a directory: /var/lib/android/android/system-images/android-28/google_apis/x86/

PANIC: Broken AVD system path. Check your ANDROID_SDK_ROOT value [/var/lib/android]!

What am I missing?

Duplicated android folder in /var/lib/android/android/system-images/(...) doesn't look right, but I have no idea where this comes from. I think it should be /var/lib/android/system-images/(...).

Details:

Earlier I've done complete setup of android sdk this way

/lib/var/android/ unzip commandlinetools-linux-6200805_latest.zip (taken from https://developer.android.com/studio#command-tools)

I've installed packages using sdkmanager --sdk_root=${ANDROID_HOME} "<package>"

current sdkmanager listing:

[myuser@jenkins-slave-002 bin]$ sdkmanager --sdk_root=${ANDROID_HOME} --list

I created avd this way:

My .bashrc contains this:

export PATH="/var/lib/android/tools:$PATH"
export PATH="/var/lib/android/tools/bin:$PATH"
export ANDROID_SDK_HOME=/var/lib/android
export ANDROID_HOME=/var/lib/android

these SDK paths exists:

The environment is CentOS 7 linux distribution running on a vmware

I was able to run the emulator with fixing the image.sysdir.1 entry in /.android/avd/<avd_name>.avd/config.ini file.

I found this tip in in this question: PANIC: Broken AVD system path. Check your ANDROID_SDK_ROOT value

Go to <user_home>/.android/avd/<avd_name> and open config.ini. Find the image.sysdir.1 property. It points at the directory, inside the SDK directory, that contains the actual system image. Make sure that this directory exists and contains files like build.prop, system.img, etc. If it doesn't, then you have to open the SDK Manager and download system images your AVD requires (see below).
