Docker and Container Tools Podman/Buildah/Skopeo

[plataleas plataleas]

Hi all

RedHat announced with RHEL8 that the docker container engine is replaced by
a suite of tools in the Container Tools module including podman, buildah
and skopeo.
https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3697371

What does the Debian community think of this move? Does it make sense to
prefer podman/buildah/skopeo over the docker engine on Debian systems as
well?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Indeed the mirror was not updated correctly. Sorry for that.

Thanks and regards

Hi Nik

With rmadison we can see that 4.9.144 is available on the mirrors, but not
yet „active“ in the stable
distribution:

$ rmadison linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64
linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64 | 4.9.130-2 | stable   | amd64
linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64 | 4.9.144-1 | proposed-updates | amd64

You specified that this information is stored in Packages.xz. However I
could find only 4.9.0-7 Kernel:

$ xzgrep linux-image  debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz |
grep Filename
Filename: pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-4.9.0-7-amd64_4.9.110-1_amd64.deb

Did we miss something?

Thanks!

Hello

The issue was, that our local mirror was not updated correctly. Now it
looks good:

$xzgrep linux-image  debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz |

Filename: pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64_4.9.130-2_amd64.deb

Re: APT candidate does not match package on Debian repo

[plataleas plataleas]

 Hello

With rmadison we can see that 4.9.144 is available on the mirrors, but not
yet „active“ in the stable
distribution:

$ rmadison linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64
linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64 | 4.9.130-2 | stable   | amd64
linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64 | 4.9.144-1 | proposed-updates | amd64

Where the information is stored on the repository specifying a package as
stable?

In the file packages.xz we see only linux-image-4.9.0-7:

$ xzgrep linux-image  debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz |
grep Filename
Filename: pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-4.9.0-7-amd64_4.9.110-1_amd64.deb

Hi Nik

Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to extract this information from the
mirror server (CentOS based)?

Where the information is stored on the repository server specifying a
package as stable?

 Hi Nik

Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to extract this information from the
mirror server (CentOS based)?

Where the information is stored on the repository server specifying a
package as stable?

APT candidate does not match package on Debian repo

[plataleas plataleas]

Hello,

We are upgrading our Debian servers (AMD64). We found that the following
kernels are available on public Debian mirrors:

kernel-image-4.9.0-8-amd64-di_4.9.130-2_amd64.udeb

28-Oct-2018 05:46
4522628kernel-image-4.9.0-8-amd64-di_4.9.144-1_amd64.udeb

04-Jan-2019 05:31 4529754

URL: http://ftp.cl.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux/

We would expect that the latest 4.9.144-1 kernel would be the candidate.
However only 4.9.130-2 is listed as candidate:

test:~# apt-cache policy linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64

linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64:

  Installed: 4.9.130-2

  Candidate: 4.9.130-2

  Version table:

*** 4.9.130-2 500

500 http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch/main amd64 Packages

100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


Could someone explain this behavior? (we did clean the apt cache)


Thanks and regards

Martin
