Download/Extraction of docker-ce-cli_27.3.1-1~debian.12~bookworm_arm64.deb fails

[DerSpatz]

When I try to install docker via apt install docker-ce, the installation always fails, because the package docker-ce-cli_27.3.1-1~debian.12~bookworm_arm64.deb does not extract properly.

When I manually download the package from the official docker repo using curl -O in /var/cache/apt/archives/ the installation works.

I am using an Odroid C4 and the latest DietPi version.

[Joulinar]

did you already tried to install Docker via dietpi-software?

[DerSpatz]

Yes, that was what I tried first, but it gave the same error, so that's when I tried apt directly.

At first the error happened a yesterday, when I first set up the system, and the error was there with ce-cli_27.3.1~debian.12~bookworm_arm64.deb, and was resolvable like described above, and I assumed it was a one off.
But today there was an update to from 27.3.1 to 27.3.1-1 and the same error occurred again, so I decided to post here.

Sorry for mentioning those details earlier...

Other packages installed successfully, and there's plenty of space available.

[Joulinar]

Can you share the entire output and error message

[DerSpatz]

I did a fresh install to test this, with a formatted µSD card.

I edited dietpi.txt to German locale settings, and in dietpiEnv.txt I set docker_optimizations=on.

On the first automatic update/upgrade run, apt throws an error when trying to update initramfs, but retrying as suggested by the tool runs through successfully. Then, after changing passwords, I disabled the serial interface as suggested, and then I was able to install docker via dietpi-config.

Then I got the following output:

Retrying did not solve the problem, but apt --fix-broken install at least installed docker-ce-cli, while containerd.io still exited with a failed extraction:

After that I tried:

rm /var/cache/apt/archives/containerd.io_1.7.22-1_arm64.deb
apt --fix-broken install

But this did not solve the problem.

rm /var/cache/apt/archives/containerd.io_1.7.22-1_arm64.deb
cd /var/cache/apt/archives/
curl -O https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/jammy/pool/stable/arm64/containerd.io_1.7.22-1_arm64.deb
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*deb

But this also did not work (unexpected EOF). Honestly, I am pretty confused right now. Last time, the docker-ce-cli did not work, now it's containerd.io, and manual install also does noct work now...

[Joulinar]

Do you have a specific network security device, gateway or firewall? Sometimes such device could have unwanted side effects.

[MichaIng]

Also, is this always the same SD card, or did you try a different one? And please check for kernel errors:

dmesg -l 0,1,2,3

[DerSpatz]

It was a different SD card for the second install, but I decided to try amrbian now...

[MichaIng]

But this also did not work (unexpected EOF). Honestly, I am pretty confused right now. Last time, the docker-ce-cli did not work,

Was this "unexpected EOF" already during the curl download, or when doing the dpkg install? Either it aborts the download at some point, or it fails to write the file correctly to disk. The latter would mean there must be a related kernel error, e.g. low voltage, filesystem corruption, any such, which can be checked with above dmesg command. At least a bad block on the SD card can then be ruled out. If the download fails already, then it could be a network issue, as indicated by Joulinar. The packages are downloaded from the same official Docker APT repository, so those are fine.
