I just bumped the julia version to 1.6.0 in a Docker image we use in my organization. I now see repetitions of the same error message when doing package operations. For instance: (@v1.6) pkg> update Updating registry at `/build/jl/depot/registries/General` ┌ Error: curl_easy_setopt: 48 └ @ Down…

I suppose the next thing I can try to do is start commenting out RUN statements in my Dockerfile to see if I can isolate what makes my image different.

This looks like an error that was present in 1.6.0-beta and possibly 1.6.0-rc1. It should definitely be fixed in 1.6.0 final. Are you sure you are running 1.6.0 in docker? The official images are still on 1.6.0-rc3 (for me, at the time of writing).

Yes, the official image is still using RC3, but I am definitely using the official release in my own image where I am experiencing the problem. This bug is rather slippery, it seems. I worked up a MWE Dockerfile that could reproduce the problem, but then, as I was polishing it up, it stopped working…

Here is the contents of a Dockerfile containing a MWE: # syntax = docker/dockerfile:1.0-experimental # When based off these images, we don't see the failure #FROM ubuntu:18.04 #FROM nvidia/cudagl:11.2.2-base-ubuntu20.04 # Based off this image, we see the failure. FROM nvidia/cudagl:11.2.2-base-ub…

I think the workaround I’m going to go with is to remove the dependency that ends up bringing in libcurl4-gnutls-dev, since I don’t believe we actually end up needing it for our purposes. Still, not the most satisfying resolution.

I don’t really see how the installation of another libcurl should matter. Julia should use the one that it comes bundled with. Is something setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

Thanks for the lead. Yes, it gets set in the nvidia/cudagl images. I don’t know that it is an option to unset it in our use case, but it is at least much more satisfying to have a plausible explanation.

Did you see the linked post in your thread (to the one identifying the issue in this thread)?

The two ingredients that seemed necessary to see error message noise in my case were: LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set globally; libcurl4-gnutls-dev is installed. The latter ended up being brought in by libvtk6-dev in my case. My workaround was to remove it.

Seeing this “noise” on a supercomputer (no docker involved) as well. x-ref: Downloads.jl: Error: curl_easy_setopt: 48
