infra.ee_utilities.ee_builder has issues related to dnf for python_interpreter section or, system-packages section of build

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Summary

We're migrating to infra.ee_utilities.ee_builder latest from redhat_cop.ee_utilities.ee_builder and ansible-builder 1.2.
I have a new build server and both /bin/sh and /usr/bin/sh are confirmed to be present.

The build is failing here:

"[1/4] STEP 10/15: ARG PKGMGR",
        "--> Using cache c2ff90960421319e08f73d047e05f0606c4939167828d4724466113e3a596a3e",
        "--> c2ff9096042",
        "[1/4] STEP 11/15: RUN $PKGMGR install $PYPKG -y ; if [ -z $PKGMGR_PRESERVE_CACHE ]; then $PKGMGR clean all; fi",
        "/bin/sh: /usr/bin/dnf: No such file or directory",
        "/bin/sh: /usr/bin/dnf: No such file or directory",

in this build context, is this command being run inside the container that's built-up or in the builder container? Either way, it seems to have an issue w/ /usr/bin/dnf. Is that your interpretation? See below for my follow up comment whereby we comment out the python_interpreter section of the ee-specification and it fails w/ a dnf-related error later in the podman build.

OS / ENVIRONMENT

Build Environment Rhel8 w/ active subscription.
Ansible Automation Collection 2.4 repos enabled.

Desired Behavior

Desire to allow /usr/bin/dnf to not throw a file-not found error.

Actual Behavior

The RUN statement in Containerfile looks for shell at /bin/sh and dnf at /usr/bin/dnf and looks to error-out

as above

Following up. When we comment out the whole python interpreter section it fails later in the build and also gives an error message about /usr/bin/dnf. In that case, its when the build process is trying to include the system packages in the resultant container.

section which we comment out

python_interpreter:
              package_system: "python39"
              python_path: "/usr/bin/python3.9"

Build fails later:

My understanding is that this dnf command is being run either in the builder container or, the target-container whose base is ee-supported. Either way, if the natural disposition of the process is to use /usr/bin/dnf, I find it curious that tool cannot be found in those two OOTB images. this makes me feel my assumptions are not correct about the build-context.

As per: https://www.ansible.com/blog/unlocking-efficiency-harnessing-the-capabilities-of-ansible-builder-3.0

The microdnf package manager can configured in the execution-environment definition

options:
package_manager_path: /usr/bin/microdnf
