Debian package build process fails

[bitsgalore]

Running:

./docker-package.sh debian:stretch

First results in following warning:

DEPRECATED: The legacy builder is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
            Install the buildx component to build images with BuildKit:
            https://docs.docker.com/go/buildx/

Then further on:

W: The repository 'http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch Release' does not have a Release file.
W: The repository 'http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates Release' does not have a Release file.

Appears to be related to this:

https://serverfault.com/a/1130167

This mentions that Debian 9 (Stretch) is out of LTS, which is confirmed by:

https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/

It is superseded by Debian 10 (Buster):

https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/

LTS will stop in 2024, so its successor Debian 11 (bullseye) looks like a better option:

https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/

In turn this is succeeded by Debian 12 (bookworm).

Tried this:

./docker-package.sh debian:bullseye

After this the stretch-related errors disappear, but the following error occurs:

E: Unable to locate package libparse-debianchangelog-perl
The command '/bin/sh -c env LANG=C apt-get update -qq -o Acquire::Languages=none     && env LANG=C DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install         -yqq --no-install-recommends -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-unsafe-io                 apt-transport-https         apt-utils         build-essential         debhelper         devscripts         equivs         gnupg2         gzip         libparse-debianchangelog-perl         lintian         lsb-release         python3-all         python3-dev         python3-pip         python3-pkg-resources         python3-setuptools         tar         libxml2-dev' returned a non-zero code: 100

Also the deprecation warning at the start still appears.

After reading this checked for the buildx component:

sudo apt list --installed | grep buildx

This turned up nothing (so it's not installed). Installed using:

apt install docker-buildx-plugin

Result:

Package docker-buildx-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  moby-buildx:armhf moby-buildx:arm64 moby-buildx

E: Package 'docker-buildx-plugin' has no installation candidate

So tried:

sudo apt install moby-buildx

But now Docker doesn't work anymore!

This askubuntu thread suggests the following command:

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin

Result:

Note, selecting 'moby-containerd' instead of 'containerd.io'
Package docker-ce is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  moby-cli:armhf moby-engine:armhf moby-cli:arm64 moby-engine:arm64
  moby-engine moby-cli

Package docker-ce-cli is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  moby-cli:armhf moby-cli:arm64 moby-cli

E: Package 'docker-ce' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'docker-ce-cli' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package docker-compose-plugin

So tried:

sudo apt-get install moby-cli moby-containerd moby-buildx

Still no luck.

Or perhaps a complete reinstall of Docker following:

https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/

Tried again on laptop with fresh Docker install (Docker version 24.0.5, build 24.0.5-0ubuntu1~22.04.1j). Command:

./docker-package.sh debian:bullseye

Result:

Same result for re-running the script for debian:bookworm.

Additional test: removed line that refers to "libparse-debianchangelog-perl" from Dockerfile.build. This does get rid of the error, but ultimately the build fails with:

[bitsgalore]

Added missing dh-python dependency to Dockerfile.build.

After this the build is successful!
