failed to register layer: ApplyLayer exit status 1 stdout: stderr: lchown /dev/initctl: no such file or directory

Description

I am using the maven:latest docker build in my ci/cd setup (Gitlab + Gitlab Runner - Self Managed). Starting last Thursday my build fails with the following message ERROR: Preparation failed: failed to register layer: ApplyLayer exit status 1 stdout: stderr: lchown /dev/initctl: no such file or directory (docker.go:143:148s).

I also tried to manually pull the docker image from the console and getting the same error: failed to register layer: ApplyLayer exit status 1 stdout: stderr: lchown /dev/initctl: no such file or directory. I tried to pull another maven image and it worked. I tested it with maven:maven:3.6-adoptopenjdk-11. The console looks like this when the error occurs:

root@runner1:~# docker pull maven:latest
latest: Pulling from library/maven

It is hanging for some seconds on Extracting of a73adebe9317 (42.07MB/42.07MB) until it crashes.

I am not sure if it is related to this image or if it's a general docker problem. I have found this similar issue: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/41803

The same seems to be happening when pulling openjdk:12 so wondering if it's a base image problem.

I also encountered such a problem, is there a solution now?

[Dudeplayz]

@taoyoung-it I have specified the maven image more precisely. I'm using atm maven:3.6-adoptopenjdk-11 and maven:3.6-jdk-11. Seems to be only a problem with specific versions/images.

This is probably an issue with your docker, likely using an old version
