[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'

[Athos Ribeiro]

@Reinhard, I can reproduce it locally, in impish, with

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

Which exists with:

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

Moreover, I also tried applying

https://github.com/containers/common/commit/78ac839f6d4dd0cf6dd44a67201e16ee3e890c1d
and the commits in
https://github.com/containers/common/pull/573/commits
and rebuilding podman, with no changes in the reproducer showed above.

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.
