Moby: docker-engine 1.10.2-0~trusty can't install on clean Ubuntu 64-bit 14.04.3

[ghost]

After a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04.3 64-bit server, I attempted to apt-get install docker-engine. The version that is queued up to install is:

peterc@vm267211-01:~$ aptitude show docker-engine

Description: Docker: the open-source application container engine
 Docker is an open source project to build, ship and run any application as a lightweight container 

 Docker containers are both hardware-agnostic and platform-agnostic. This means they can run anywhere, from your laptop to
 the largest EC2 compute instance and everything in between - and they don't require you to use a particular language,
 framework or packaging system. That makes them great building blocks for deploying and scaling web apps, databases, and
 backend services without depending on a particular stack or provider.

peterc@vm267211-01:~$ 

I've checked necessary dependencies as documented in the Docker install docs for Ubuntu 14, for example:

peterc@vm267211-01:~$ aptitude search linux-image-extra
i A linux-image-extra-3.19.0-25-generic                   - Linux kernel extra modules for version 3.19.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
peterc@vm267211-01:~$ 

When I run the apt-get install, I get the following output:

peterc@vm267211-01:~$ sudo apt-get install docker-engine

peterc@vm267211-01:~$ 

This is a repeatable error.

Hm, wonder what that is, because just about any package (including really standard ones, e.g, git) is marked as "not installable"

[HackToday]

@dad-is-grat how did you configure related docker repo ? is it done by ubuntu official repo or docker repo?

[j16sdiz]

What is the output for apt-cache policy libsystemd-journal0 ?

[albers]

Under certain conditions, _sources.lst_ is not updated at the end of the install process. It then just contains the reference to the installer CD. Your sources selection from the installer is kept in _/etc/apt/sources.list.apt-setup_.
I experienced this several times with minimal virtual installations of Ubuntu 14.04 and fixed it with

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.apt-setup > /etc/apt/sources.list

[thaJeztah]

Oh, thanks @albers, that's useful information!

Same problem for me with ubuntu:

Same problem here upon attempting to install docker-engine. I closely followed this installation guide.

I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet (3.19.0-51-generic).

[ksrimatk]

This is happening when there is incompatibility in Ubuntu version and entry in docker.list

Ex:
I have faced this when i have deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-trusty main in docker.list with my Ubuntu Wily 15.10

[thaJeztah]

@LDX-MCPE Ubuntu 15.04 is EOL and no longer supported, so that's likely the issue you're running into. I suggest to upgrade to 15.10, because you also won't be getting security patches from Ubuntu on that version.

[jordancrawfordnz]

I seem to have resolved this by putting deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main in /etc/apt/sources.list (as mentioned on the Ubuntu site at http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/i386/libsystemd-journal0/download), then doing apt-get update, apt-get install libsystemd-journal0 and apt-get install docker-engine.

[newswim]

Same issue. I followed the previous instructions by @jordancrawfordnz and got docker-engine installed and the hello-world fired up. My concern is that this method differs from the current official instructions.

[ghost]

1.10.3-0~trusty installs successfully.

[advanderveer]

Still fails for me on clean 15.10, jordancrawfordns solution works but deviates significantly from the offcial instructions...

@jordancrawfordnz Thanks a lot. I was finally able to get it installed in my Trusty.

[karb0n13]

@jordancrawfordnz You are a lifesaver, Thanks for posting that fix.

[yourNameIsGood]

@jordancrawfordnz also works for me in my Xenial. Thank u soooo much

[ssebbass]

Same problem here, fix with:

sudo shutdown -r now

[fredkan]

same problem meet, I got success from below actions:

1. download libsystemd-journal0_204-14-bpo70+1_amd64.deb
   http://ftp.cn.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/systemd/libsystemd-journal0_204-14~bpo70+1_amd64.deb
2. dpkg -i libsystemd-journal0_204-14-bpo70+1_amd64.deb
3. apt-get install libltdl7
4. dpkg -i docker-engine_.....deb

[zultron]

Ahh, @fredkan's comment revealed the problem to me: bpo means the package is from backports. This command will install the elusive libsystemd-journal0 on Trusty:

sudo apt-get install -t trusty-backports libsystemd-journal0

[dshook]

This also is a problem on Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty but unfortunately at time of writing there is no published sysv-rc package for zesty :(

thanks @jordancrawfordnz that's work for ubuntu 12.04 :smile:
