Slink's apt/dpkg b0rked #14

Open dnmvisser opened 2 months ago

dnmvisser commented 2 months ago

I'm not sure this is the right location to report, but apt/dpkg is broken in slink:

dnmvisser@foo ~$ docker run --rm -ti debian/eol:slink bash

dpkg: cannot scan updates directory `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/': Invalid argument
E: Sub-process returned an error code (2)

I played around a bit, and it appears to a permission issue on the reported directory. If I make that directory group writable, all seems to be OK:

dnmvisser@foo ~$ docker run --rm -ti debian/eol:slink bash

Not sure if this is the correct approach, but it is much more usable if pacakges can be installed....

My best guess is that this is related to the struggles I see a lot with these older i386 distributions/versions, especially around 64bit inodes -- FWIW, your example seems to work fine for me without any modification to the image:

$ docker run -it --rm debian/eol:slink
