File locking necessary to get `apk` working, QEMU fails #318

Closed staticfloat closed 4 years ago

staticfloat commented 6 years ago

Sometimes users need to apk add foo, but that seems to be broken when running inside of QEMU. I'm not entirely sure why this is happening (I can't even flock something within a tmpfs that I mount within the interactive shell, so I don't think it's a 9pfs thing) but it's a bit of a problem for us.

Pasting this conversation from Slack for the record

Saw a similar issue trying to use apk on a mac:

# apk add go
ERROR: Unable to lock database: Function not implemented
ERROR: Failed to open apk database: Function not implemented
# which apk
/sbin/apk

The advice was to install Docker and use the docker backend instead:

set BINARYBUILDER_RUNNER=docker and try running it on OSX again; it will use docker as the execution engine under the hood, which will dodge many of the qemu problems, at the expense of requiring you to have docker installed.

Not applicable as QEMU runner is not a thing anymore?
