Hi,

since a few days I cannot install updates via apt since the containerd package is missing in the repository, but referenced in the packages file:

Can someone update the repo information?

Hello,

I have the same problem. Something might be happening on the download.docker.com repository.

Hello, I have the same problem here…

I fixed it temporarily by holding the currently installed version of containerd.io like this:

echo "containerd.io hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections

Now the update of the other packages works as intended, but this ist only a workaround for now. The version hold should be removed as soon as possible to avoid possible conflicts at later updates.

You can remove the version hold with this command:
echo "containerd.io install" | sudo dpkg --set-selections

Thanks for opening the issue. I was mit sure of the GitHub repo was the right choice and therefore wanted to try with the forum first.

That version is not on the server Packages list anymore. Maybe it was pulled. The files I had cached on my system were from Oct 9.

ls -l /var/lib/apt/lists/download.docker.com*
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 74425 Oct 9 23:33 download.docker.com_linux_ubuntu_dists_xenial_InRelease
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 78135 Oct 9 23:33 download.docker.com_linux_ubuntu_dists_xenial_stable_binary-amd64_Packages

https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/xenial/stable/binary-amd64/

apt-get clean did not remove those lists. I just manually removed them and reran update / upgrade. That pulled down 1.2.6-3 which does exist.

rm /var/lib/apt/lists/download.docker.com_linux_ubuntu_dists_xenial_*
apt update
apt upgrade

It was fixed in Ubuntu Xenial, but again is happening for Ubuntu Eoan.
