Cp-docker-images: apt-get update failing due to removal of Wheezy and Jessie (except LTS) from mirrors

[jimymodi]

When I am doing apt-get update on base of confluentinc/cp-kafka-rest:4.0.0. It is failing with Failed to fetch http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found
It is because Removal of Wheezy and Jessie (except LTS) from mirrors

My Dockerfile for ref

FROM confluentinc/cp-kafka-rest:4.0.0

ENV TZ Asia/Kolkata

RUN apt-get update

RUN apt-get install -y uuid-runtime

COPY start-kafka-rest /usr/bin/start-kafka-rest

RUN chmod 755 /usr/bin/start-kafka-rest

ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/bin/start-kafka-rest"]

I can confirm this is also the behavior for "confluentinc/cp-zookeeper:latest".

This is also a problem for confluentinc/cp-kafka-connect:latest.

Work arounds discussed here work... https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/508724/failed-to-fetch-jessie-backports-repository
.. but really the base image should be updated from jessie since it's now considered an obsolete release: https://www.debian.org/releases/
The latest KSQL image doesn't have the same issue since it's based on stretch

confluentinc/cp-enterprise-control-center:5.1.2 has same issue.

Hey folks, we've merged this update to address the issue: https://github.com/confluentinc/cp-docker-images/pull/717 We will be moving the base image too stretch, but please keep in mind that there are compatibility issues with updating these, so this is the sort of change that can only be made across major release versions. Just changing base image in bugfixes would break some downstream consumers.

For existing releases, subsequent bugfix releases of the images for that major.minor version will include the linked PR.

This is also a problem for confluentinc/cp-kafka-connect:5.1.2

[jinbowang]

Do we have plan to retrofit this config into older versions?

[maknihamdi]

I think all debian images have this error. I already test this workarround https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/508724/failed-to-fetch-jessie-backports-repository/508840#508840 with other image, and now I applied it with kafka-connect. Works fine!

you have to add this line to your Dockerfile

RUN echo "deb [check-valid-until=no] http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian jessie main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jessie.list
RUN echo "deb [check-valid-until=no] http://archive.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jessie-backports.list
RUN sed -i '/deb http:\/\/deb.debian.org\/debian jessie-updates main/d' /etc/apt/sources.list 

RUN apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update && ....

This has already been fixed back to 3.2.x branch in https://github.com/confluentinc/cp-docker-images/pull/717, so all builds against updated bug fix release versions back to then would have this change. Tagged releases are already tagged, so we can't retroactively update the tag, but you can just cherry-pick the change against a branch started from the tag if you want to rebuild those versions yourself.
