[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'

[Reinhard Tartler]

Hi, I've been doing the uploads for podman to debian and ubuntu for a
while now.

I'm struggling with reproducing this bug with podman on impish. On a
freshly "multipass launch'ed" impsish vm, I tried:

ubuntu at primary:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu Impish Indri (development branch)
Release:	21.10
Codename:	impish
ubuntu at primary:~$ sudo apt update -qq && sudo apt install crun runc podman
80 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

runc is already the newest version (1.0.1-0ubuntu2).
runc set to manually installed.
crun is already the newest version (0.17+dfsg-1).
podman is already the newest version (3.2.1+ds1-2ubuntu2).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 80 not upgraded.

ubuntu at primary:~$ podman run -it --runtime crun ubuntu:impish apt update -qq

ubuntu at primary:~$ podman run -it --runtime runc ubuntu:impish apt update -qq

ubuntu at primary:~$ sudo podman run -it --runtime runc ubuntu:impish apt update -qq
27 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

ubuntu at primary:~$ sudo podman run -it --runtime crun ubuntu:impish apt update -qq

@paride, can you please assist me with reproducing the issue?

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.
