ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints: so:libvpx.so.6 (missing)

Question

FFMpeg was updated this week and is causing the build to break.

Are my options to either:

1. pin ffmpeg to a previous version? If so, how do I pin to the version before current?
2. Update the python dockerfile version

Output:

Dockerfile:

ENV LANG C.UTF-8
RUN echo "http://dl-8.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN apk upgrade


RUN addgroup -S django && adduser -S -G django django

RUN apk update
# FFMPEG/Sox dependencies
RUN apk add sox
#RUN apk add  --no-cache libvpx-dev
RUN apk add  --no-cache ffmpeg

Answer 1

You are only adding the community edge repository, not main . This leads to some inconsistencies for apk.

It works if you change your Dockerfile:4 to the following:

RUN echo -e "http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community\nhttp://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main" >> /etc/apk/repositories
