Unable to install any packages on jenkins-inbound-agent container using apt since the Debian 12 upgrade

Using Jenkins

We have been using the jenkins-inboud-agent:latest-jdk11 docker image with some additional packages installed in it. Since last 5 days our docker build is failing due to not being able to run apt update to install additional packages. I looked at the last update to the jenkins-inbound-agent image and looks like the Debian version was updated to Debian 12.

Here is the error I’m seeing,

Also, I tried to add the missing keys manually. But they require gnupg package to be installed.

root@3e562058a639:/home/jenkins# apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0E98404D386FA1D9
E: gnupg, gnupg2 and gnupg1 do not seem to be installed, but one of them is required for this operation

Please help resolve this :pray:

I can’t duplicate the issue that you’re reporting. When I run those commands from my Ubuntu 22.04 computer with Docker version 24.0.6, it reports:

Maybe you have something that is acting as a barrier between your container runtime and the public internet?

Maybe your container runtime is not Docker and is refusing to allow the operation as root?

Maybe your container runtime is outdated and needs to be updated to a recent release?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your response. I did some more investigation and observed that only the debian:12 image has this issue, that too only in our AWS infrastructure. I was able to run apt update in the debian:12 image on my local computer.
Also, the debian:11 or debian:10 images work perfectly fine on both my local and the AWS infrastructure.

root@prod-ecs-i-0376cc9a6ba6479c3:~# docker run -it -u root jenkins/inbound-agent:latest-jdk11 bash
root@9ff3e53cd2f0:/home/jenkins# curl www.google.com
curl: (6) getaddrinfo() thread failed to start

I found a similar problem reported by someone, and one of the possible solutions was to use this flag in the docker run command. --security-opt seccomp=unconfined
It worked!
So I believe there is some syscall that debian:12 is using which is blocked by default in the docker-ce version we are running. And it isn’t blocked by the docker for desktop I’m running locally.

This is not at all a Jenkins related issue, but a debian:12 or Docker related one.
I hope someone will find this information useful.
