Error installing moby-engine on Ubuntu 18.04 64 bit on Nvidia Jetson Nano

[ce314]

I am following the directions from here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/how-to-install-iot-edge?view=iotedge-2020-11

When I execute the command : sudo apt-get install moby-engine

I get the following output: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: moby-engine : Depends: moby-containerd (>= 1.4.3) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I follow the trouble shooting commands however everything is enabled under Generally NEccessary and Network Drivers. So I am unsure how to fix this error. If someone could help that has experience with iotedge devices that would be great.

Hi @ce314,

Very frustrating, I'm sorry this is happening. If you did the apt update, can you try to sudo apt-get install moby-containerd and see what it says?

OK - tried this on a Pi running Ubuntu 18.04 arm64, and I didn't experience problems, although I did remove docker-ce before starting (see session log below). Is it possible you had experienced a service disruption that messed up apt?

Try:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install moby-engine -f

Session log follows

Hi @ce314,

Any luck?

[ce314]

Sorry, forgot to respond but it did not work however I decided to go a different direction that did not need the Moby engine. Thanks for your help!

[varunpuranik]

Thanks @ce314 for the update. I will close this issue. Curious to know what direction you decided to go in... would you mind sharing?

I met exactly the same issue on Nvidia Jetson Nano on Ubuntu 18.04 following the steps in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/how-to-provision-single-device-linux-symmetric?view=iotedge-2020-11&tabs=azure-portal after

sudo apt-get install moby-engine

got message:

Check Generally Necessary and Network Drivers items were all enable.

I also tried @darobs's suggestion, but unfortunately it still doesn't work because it's different on Jetson.

I just conducted the installation on jetson nano:

At the beginning, I got similar errors but slightly different yours, @Amethyst6000. Try this and look closely at the issues you got, it should tell you what deps are wrong. For me, it was docker-ce which I didn't care about at this point.

The solution for me was to install everything from down to top. Started with: sudo apt-get install moby-runc then sudo apt-get install moby-containerd and finally: sudo apt-get install moby-engine

[Amethyst6000]

Those steps are very helpful! before those steps, I met conflict: runc, so I remove older package sudo apt-get remove runc then use @pgrudzien12 provided steps sudo apt-get install moby-runc sudo apt-get install moby-containerd sudo apt-get install moby-engine Finally completed the installation of moby-engine.

Hello,

I am having a similar issue. The goal is to install Device Update agent on Raspbian bullseye (11).

I was following for debian: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/how-to-provision-single-device-linux-symmetric?view=iotedge-1.5&viewFallbackFrom=iotedge-2020-11&preserve-view=true&tabs=azure-portal%2Cdebian

And at sudo systemctl restart docker I am getting: Dependency failed for Docker Application Container Engine. docker.service: Job docker.service/start failed with result 'dependency'.

I also tried to uninstall these packages and install one by one: sudo apt-get install moby-runc sudo apt-get install moby-containerd sudo apt-get install moby-engine

Can you please write what could be the reason for this error ?
