Public bug reported: When running in docker in (for example) AWS CodeBuild, the output from `uname -r` can include kernel version that the debhelper.in/libc.preinst (lines 140-152) dislikes when you upgrade `libc6`.
Debian claim to have removed the offending section in glibc/2.31-14. See: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=987266 Please can we have this fix ported into 20.04 Focal? Full Error: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ERROR: Your kernel version indicates a revision number of 255 or greater. Glibc has a number of built in assumptions that this revision number is less than 255. If you\'ve built your own kernel, please make sure that any custom version numbers are appended to the upstream kernel number with a dash or some other delimiter. dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.31-0ubuntu9.7_amd64.deb (--unpack): new libc6:amd64 package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.31-0ubuntu9.7_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS Release: 20.04 ** Affects: glibc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: glibc (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #987266 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=987266 ** Also affects: glibc (Debian) via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=987266 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1962606 Title: preinst check for kernel release > 255 no longer needed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1962606/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
