ok I think I have pinpointed a bit more precisely the issue , on the kernel with the bug , if from the container I do
localedef -i fr_FR -c -f UTF-8 -A /usr/share/locale/locale.alias fr_FR.UTF-8 stat /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive I got File: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive Size: 1679760 Blocks: 3144 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 10301h/66305d Inode: 521785 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2019-09-03 08:57:16.661569167 +0000 Modify: 2019-09-03 08:57:16.661569167 +0000 Change: 2019-09-03 08:57:16.661569167 +0000 if i switch to the non admin user and I do head, I can't read it (but I can list /stat it) now if I do chmod o+r /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive stat /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive I got exactly the same thing File: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive Size: 1679760 Blocks: 3144 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 10301h/66305d Inode: 521785 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2019-09-03 08:57:16.661569167 +0000 Modify: 2019-09-03 08:57:16.661569167 +0000 Change: 2019-09-03 09:00:39.418079016 +0000 (except the change date that has changed) but now if i go as an admin again and i do head.... it works ! so in the first stat, the permission reported were wrong ahd somewhat, redoing chmod o+r corrected it..... Note that if as root I touch a file, I don't have this issue, so the file created by localedef is created a bit differently that what "touch" does -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-aws in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1842364 Title: sudo localedef from docker does not work anymore after upgrade from 4.4.0-1088-aws to 4.4.0-1090-aws Status in linux-aws package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: step to reproduce take an AMI: ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-20190816 (it runs by default the version 4.4.0-1090-aws of the kernel) install docker on it and launch a debian:stretch instance (can reproduce with ubuntu:latest) curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add - sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce sudo docker run -it debian:stretch bash from within the docker , install sudo and create a user "admin" part of the sudo group install the package 'locales', and then try to activate the locale fr_FR.UTF-8: apt-get install -y sudo locales adduser admin usermod -aG sudo admin su admin sudo localedef -i fr_FR -c -f UTF-8 -A /usr/share/locale/locale.alias fr_FR.UTF-8 locale -a it displays : C C.UTF-8 POSIX now if you run the same command as root, from within the very same docker container: localedef -i fr_FR -c -f UTF-8 -A /usr/share/locale/locale.alias fr_FR.UTF-8 locale -a it displays correctly: C C.UTF-8 POSIX fr_FR.utf8 I've been able to track down that with the AMI ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-20190807(ami-0e253b69fb96577d1) the problem does not appear if you apt-get upgrade , it still does not appear, BUT if you dist-upgrade, it then upgrades linux-aws from 4.4.0-1088-aws to 4.4.0-1092-aws, and if you reboot, then the bugs appears too , which to me proves that there's an issue between docker and version of the linux kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-aws/+bug/1842364/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
