apt-get error: Version '5:19.03.4~3-0~ubuntu-bionic' for 'docker-ce' was not found


Documentation provides syntax to install specific version of docker-ce:

$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce=<VERSION_STRING> docker-ce-cli=<VERSION_STRING> containerd.io


On similar line, below dockerfile uses the above syntax:

apt-get -y install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io is able to download and install the latest version of ubuntu packages, but why download and install of specific version of ubuntu package fails?

apt-get -y install docker-ce=${DOCKER_VERSION:-5:19.03.4~3-0~ubuntu-bionic} \
                docker-ce-cli=${DOCKER_VERSION:-5:19.03.4~3-0~ubuntu-bionic} \

Solution

  • You've selected Docker versions based on what's available on your build host, not what's available inside the container image you're building. The jenkins:lts image is based on Debian Stretch, not Ubuntu Bionic.

    Dockerfiles are actually just running fairly ordinary Docker operations. So, for example, you can run docker run -ti -u root jenkins/jenkins:lts /bin/bash, run your RUN scripts by hand, and check the apt-cache output inside the container:

    # apt-cache madison docker-ce
     docker-ce | 5:19.03.4~3-0~debian-stretch | https://download.docker.com/linux/debian stretch/stable amd64 Packages
     docker-ce | 5:19.03.3~3-0~debian-stretch | https://download.docker.com/linux/debian stretch/stable amd64 Packages
     docker-ce | 5:19.03.2~3-0~debian-stretch | https://download.docker.com/linux/debian stretch/stable amd64 Packages
     docker-ce | 5:19.03.1~3-0~debian-stretch | https://download.docker.com/linux/debian stretch/stable amd64 Packages
     docker-ce | 5:19.03.0~3-0~debian-stretch | https://download.docker.com/linux/debian stretch/stable amd64 Packages
    

    Also, a failed docker build should leave the partially-complete image around; so you can use that directly to investigate a failure. As an example with a trivially failing step RUN false:

    ⋮
    Removing intermediate container baaeab34bb8c
     ---> 6d34bab07796
    Step 3/3 : RUN false
     ---> Running in 8347f442dfaa
    The command '/bin/sh -c false' returned a non-zero code: 1
    

    The 6d34bab07796 image is left around. You can pass that to docker run and investigate why the command failed. The 8347f442dfaa container is also left around, though exited; you can use the various docker container subcommands to investigate it as well.
