Building the base image currently fails with the following error. It still worked fine two days ago.

This is of course a packaging issue in the ubuntu:24.04 docker image that can trivially be reproduced by running

docker run --rm -it ubuntu:24.04 bash -c 'apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade && apt-get -y install python3-distutils'

but I just wanted to let you know, in case you can apply a fix here.

[BtbN]

There is no fix to be applied. Ubuntu is still panic-fixing the xz fallout, and broke their apt repos in the process. Nothing to be done but to wait until they fix it.

I'm currently getting the same error. Can I revert to an older version of the Ubuntu image in order to make makeimage work again? If I can, how?

Mod this file

images/base/Dockerfile

FROM ubuntu:24.04

Change 24.04 to 22.04, or 23.10 and try again.

wsl, 23.10 is work, but

[BtbN]

Just pull the image from Github until Ubuntu sorts out their packaging situation. The CI built it successfully, and there will likely not be a base image update until Ubuntu fixed the packages.

[aesxsc]

23.04 version works without any problems. Also I have another question, to build static binaries should I use nonfree-sharedor nonfree? Are there any differences besides one is dynamically linked and one is static?

[abrar71]

@aesxsc nonfree is the static version where all libraries are compiled within the binary file while nonfree-shared provides the libraries in a separate folder.
