The same dockerfile work perfectly on intel based mac. Any help would be highly appreciated.

I tried to build it for amd64 platform as well. it gives the same error. The only solution I came up with was to manually download the package and then install it using apt. This seems to work, but it is a cumbersome process as there are a lot of package which is giving me this issue.

How do you download it? Did you use wget or curl from the container? Can you try to run curl in verbose mode (or wget)?

curl -vvv --output package.deb -L http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-10/libtsan0_10.2.1-6_arm64.deb

If it happens only on the M1 Mac, I can only think of something with the architecture even when you build amd64 image since in that case you need emulation which is usually less stable than building for the architecture of the host. Or something is installed on the M1 Mac or just the network is less stable (unless it is the same network)

I have a MacBook Air M1 and I could build the image using the Dockerfile you shared without any error message.

I used wget from the container to download the packages it is unable to fetch and then ran apt install.

On running the command provided, I got this output.

Yes, my Intel Mac and Arm Mac are both on the same network. However, I do notice that in each subsequent run there is some shuffling in the list of packages that it is not able to fetch but no such issue on my intel mac.
Any help whatsoever will be highly appreciated.

I guess you meant “able to fetch”.

Some other ideas:

It is possible that some components of Docker Desktop are less stable on arm64 than on amd64. I remember network issues from the past on my Mac, but that was long ago

Thanks for your comment @rimelek
Downgrading the Docker Desktop version worked :slight_smile:
Should I raise this issue on the Github page?

6

Yes, I think that is the best you can do if it is not reported yet.

Can you also share here which version worked and which one didn’t?

If you open an issue on GitHub, please, share the link here too so anyone who finds this topic can also comment on GitHub.
