Docker Engine v25 (not yet natively packaged as docker.io, I know - but docker- ce from their repo has it) deprecates legacy API versions: https://docs.docker.com/engine/deprecated/#deprecate-legacy-api-versions This affects libnss-docker, because it has API version 1.21 (set at configure time). A workaround until Docker Engine v26 would be to set DOCKER_MIN_API_VERSION=1.21 for the Docker Daemon, but after that, a minimum of 1.24 is required.
Raising the severity of this issue to RC because docker.io version 27, that does not implement the old APIs required by libnss-docker, is now in unstable and will soon migrate to testing, breaking this package.
Hi, in upstream issue https://github.com/dex4er/nss-docker/issues/15 a fork https://github.com/petski/nss-docker-ng was announced. Please either consider packaging this for or lets remove the non-functional package. If there is no response to this bug in the next 31 days I will ask for removal of this package. Kind regards Andreas.
