[SOLVED] Docker from debian:wheezy cannot build

Issue

Recently all my docker containers FROM debian:wheezy can not be built anymore.

I tried to launch the following command and even that did not work.

~ docker run -it --rm debian:wheezy /usr/bin/apt-get update

E: Method http has died unexpectedly!
E: Sub-process http received a segmentation fault.

Here is my docker version

~ docker -v
Docker version 1.12.6, build 78d18021e

Everything was working fine until last week but now I cannot build any of my wheezy containers. Using debian:jessie works but that's not the answer.

I tried to remove and reinstall docker, removing the /var/lib/docker folder, I removed all my containers and images, upgrade my distrib ...

Any idea of what is happening?

Ho, I'm using debian stretch

uname -a Linux debtim 4.8.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.8.7-1 (2016-11-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here is my docker-compose build result

docker-compose build
Building site_dev
Step 1 : FROM debian:wheezy
 ---> 26f8900cfb86
Step 2 : RUN echo 'hello world'
 ---> Using cache
 ---> 14548f7351d2
Step 3 : RUN apt-get update
 ---> Running in 9b304362ffc8
E: Method http has died unexpectedly!
E: Sub-process http received a segmentation fault.
ERROR: Service 'site_dev' failed to build: The command '/bin/sh -c apt-get update' returned a non-zero code: 100

and here is the Dockerfile

FROM debian:wheezy
RUN echo 'hello world'    
RUN apt-get update

Solution

As everything lead to the conclusion that it is really a Kernel related issue as stated in https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/28705#issuecomment-262226229 I decided to downgrade my Debian Jessie to stable. Everything works since. I have now the following .

sudo uname -a
Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1 (2016-12-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux
docker -v
Docker version 1.12.6, build 78d1802
