Docker - Alpine Elixir容器有不可满足的限制

Question

I have this Dockerfile for my Phoenix application. When running a promotion with Semaphore CI, my deployment fails and returns this error:

ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:
  libssl1.0 (missing):
    required by: world[libssl1.0]
  pdftk (missing):
    required by: world[pdftk]

How come it can't fetch these two packages?

Answer 1

The erlang:20-alpine image ( Dockerfile ), which is used as base for elixir:1.6.6-alpine ( Dockerfile ), has been recently updated from Alpine 3.8 to 3.9 ( Github commit ).

The following has changed between Alpine 3.8 and 3.9:

• The libssl1.0 package has been removed, and superseded by libssl1.1 .

• The pdftk package has been removed in 3.9, and is only available in the edge branch community repository (and older Alpine branches).

libssl:

This one is easily fixed: just replace the libssl1.0 package with libssl1.1 .

pdftk:

pdftk is more problematic. It depends on libgcj6 , the Java runtime for GCC 6. However, the Java runtime was completely removed from GCC 8 and onwards. libgcj6 is the Java runtime for GCC 6, and is not compatible with GCC 8. Installing libgcj6 also pulls the GCC 6 C++ runtime, libstdc++6 (6.4.0-r9) .

An attempt to install pdftk along with libgcj6 , for example:

RUN apk add --no-cache libgcj6 pdftk --repository=http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community

Fails with:

ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:
  so:libgcj.so.17 (missing):
    required by: pdftk-2.02-r1[so:libgcj.so.17]

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with a workaround, currently.

There's an active open Alpine ticket for this issue: https://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/10136 , so it's worth keeping an eye for possible updates.
