Thanks for reporting this issue. It seems that Alpine published a new base image for 3.15.2 that includes a change to java-common that moved where it symlinks files to. We'll have to investigate further and figure out the next steps.

See https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/commit/?h=v3.15.2&id=5a0989e44934a86048b18b4253ec220cbd07f90f

The issue only seems to affect the 8-alpine-jre and not the jdk/full images. We think we know where the problem is and will have to build and test new packages.

confirmed only amazoncorretto:8-alpine3.15-jre is effected by this change now. and tag amazoncorretto:8-alpine-jre is equivalent to tag amazoncorretto:8-alpine3.15-jre

Thank you for the update! Do we have any ETA available at this time or any work around to mitigate the issue until it is solved. Any help is highly appreciated.

[TianminShi]

here is quick workaround to fix this. docker run -it amazoncorretto:8-alpine-jre ln -s -f /usr/lib/jvm/default-jvm/jre/bin/java /usr/bin/java&&/usr/bin/java and we are working on fixing this in our docker hub image

[lutkerd]

To update to the official image was just merged and new images are usually available within ~4 hours. https://github.com/docker-library/official-images/pull/12110

This part is on DockerHub and we have no control over the timeframe.

[lutkerd]

New image is posted and working

$ docker run -it amazoncorretto:8u322-alpine3.15-jre java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_322"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-8.322.06.2 (build 1.8.0_322-b06)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-8.322.06.2 (build 25.322-b06, mixed mode)

We will also be fixing this at the APK level and publishing new packages.

[lutkerd]

New packages are available, closing resolved issue.
