Hi

I’m trying to install glibc on top of alpine and getting the following error

Here are the dockerfile steps

RUN apk --no-cache add binutils curl jq sudo
RUN curl -sL https://alpine-pkgs.sgerrand.com/sgerrand.rsa.pub -o /etc/apk/keys/sgerrand.rsa.pub

RUN rm glibc-${GLIBC_VER}.apk && rm glibc-bin-${GLIBC_VER}.apk
RUN rm -rf /var/cache/apk/* 

Any Solution or help is very much appreciated 😊

gcompat and glibc are compatibility packages for the same thing. They are not compatible. The error message tells you everything you need to know.

Check your Docker base image (which you did not specify in your post) to make sure it does not include gcompat.

@ganeshk1928: The answer which @sevmonster provided is correct, you are trying to mix incompatible C libraries which is a Bad Thing™ to do.
