[Debian 9 (stretch)] E: Unable to locate package docker-ce

#1 Post by Bitspark »

Hello,

Linux/Debian newbie here. I’ve been trying to install docker on a debian machine following these instructions: https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/debian/

Everything works, up untill the point where docker is actually installed using:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce
i’m getting the following in response:

Code: Select all

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package docker-ce
Anyone a clue on what this might be?

I’m running Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)on a 64-bit i5 machine.
Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-8-686-pae

Steps undertaken:

checked repositories, original installation, only docker line added. they seem to match:

Code: Select all

deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
deb-src http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ stretch main

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main

# stretch-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main

# deb-src [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian stretch stable
deb-src http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main

# docker repo
deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian stretch stable
checked the fingerprint, seems to match:

Code: Select all

apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88
pub   rsa4096 2017-02-22 [SCEA]
      9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A  E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88
uid           [ unknown] Docker Release (CE deb) <docker@docker.com>
sub   rsa4096 2017-02-22 [S]
Can someone point me in the right direction perhaps? Thanks for your advice.

Did you remember to update the package database after adding the new repository?

Code: Select all

# apt update
I like to use `apt edit-sources` to add new repositories, that reminds you to update afterwards.

yes, i did

Code: Select all

apt-get update
a couple of times.

Just now:

Code: Select all

root@Optimus:~# apt update
Get:1 http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates InRelease [94.3 kB]

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
All packages are up to date.
After this, the install still says the same (unable to locate package).

I've noticed something that maybe you can explain. I've seen different notations of the repository line for docker:

Code: Select all

# docker repo
deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian stretch stable
# deb-src [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian stretch stable
the upper one is what i'm using from the docker site itsself. the lower one (stating deb-src) is from a linux install site on howto install docker (https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install- ... etch-linux).

which repository should be used?

The plain deb line, "deb-src" will contain the source code.

The man page examples have spaces around the square brackets that declare the architecture but I don't think that would make any difference.

How about

Code: Select all

aptitude search docker

So it seems, the packages are on the system? What am I missing then, are there other packages on which docker depends? I've installed Debian from the netinstall (usb stick).

I have no idea why APT has the package in the database but can't install it, that is most perplexing :?

You could try installing the .deb directly instead:

You say you are running the "pae" kernel, which is only for 32-bit systems. Did you maybe install a 32-bit system in error, which is possible on a 64-bit machine?

Run "dpkg --print-architecture" to see what you've got.

If you do have a 32-bit install, do you need some facepalm gifs?

ehm :? let's see, I should have the 64bit installed...

Code: Select all

root@Optimus:~# dpkg --print-architecture
i386
please tell me this is 64Bit?

checking google on howto check;

Code: Select all

root@Optimus:~# uname -a
Linux Optimus 4.9.0-8-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.9.130-2 (2018-10-27) i686 GNU/Linux
Now, i'm going to grab a chair and do some self reflection, in my face :). If I read your comment correctly, I've installed a 32Bit version, reading the PAE part in the version string.

...

@self: welcome to the debian newbie group.

next up; howto get 64 bit installed?

ok, duh! so stupid... grabbed the wrong install packages from debian.org.

installed amd64 now;

Code: Select all

root@Optimus:~# uname -a
Linux Optimus 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.130-2 (2018-10-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux
let's see if we can get docker to run this time
