[Bug 1943049] Re: Docker ubuntu:impish: Problem executing scripts DPkg::Post-Invoke 'rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/*.deb /var/cache/apt/*.bin || true'

[Thomas Weise]

Hi.

I am not entirely sure if that is related to what is currently going on, but I just tried to replicate my original report https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1943293, which you can also find above as https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1943049/comments/39.
I am now getting a *different* error from before:

and then:

root at 4479609faaa5:/# curl
bash: curl: command not found

Here is some system information:

*Inside* the container:

root at 15c0613638fc:/# uname -a
Linux 15c0613638fc 5.11.0-37-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 20 16:39:20 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
x86_64 GNU/Linux

root at 15c0613638fc:/# lsb_release -a 
bash: lsb_release: command not found

On my *host* system:

$ uname -a
Linux home 5.11.0-37-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 20 16:39:20 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 21.04
Release:	21.04
Codename:	hirsute


The system is fully updated, i.e. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade does not lead to any change.

In the past, the installation of curl would work, but then "curl https://bing.com" would fail.
Now the installation of curl fails.

Bug description:
  Sometime betweek August 28 and September 4 2021 the ubuntu:impish
  images published on dockerhub began erroring when executing the
  commands defined in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/docker-clean.

  I have this reproducer, which is probably not as minimal as it can be
  but looks reliable:

  1. docker run -it --rm ubuntu:impish bash
  2. apt update
  3. apt install git
  4. apt -y remove git

  This results in:

  E: Problem executing scripts DPkg::Post-Invoke 'rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/*.deb /var/cache/apt/*.bin || true'
  E: Sub-process returned an error code

  *Removing* a package is not strictly needed to trigger the failure,
  but it seems that *two* apt operations are needed to trigger it, so
  this reproducer found by athos-ribeiro also works:

  docker run -it --rm ubuntu:impish /bin/bash -c 'apt-get update; apt-
  get full-upgrade -y; apt-get install -y jq'

  This doesn't happen when using ubuntu:hirsute.
