Bug #536
closedCannot build coreboot-sdk

Description
I have just tried building coreboot-sdk from scratch and could not get past the step of installing the required packages. Found out that diffutils dependency on libcurl4t64 break libcurl4 (change apt-get to apt to see verbose information message like below):

Changing libcurl4 to libcurl4t64 allows the docker to continue the build process of coreboot-sdk. But is this the right thing to do?

I don't know, but I rebuilt the containers with testing instead of Sid weeks ago when the xz drama happened, since Sid didn't work for me either. I pushed new containers for last stable release and current main branch to Dockerhub.
Edit: https://hub.docker.com/r/coreboot/coreboot-sdk/tags
testing is based on current main branch, latest is based on last release.

Why explicitly specify libcurl4 anyway? If it's a dependency, apt-get can solve it. If we want to build anything with it, we need one of the -dev variants instead.

Good point. Removing libcurl4 from the package list works too. I guess it is a good idea to let the package manager handle dependencies and conflicts.

Couldn't build coreboot-sdk completely, because gerrit is having some troubles (getting 504 when cloning or accessing it via browser)

I've retriggered the build task. Seems like Gerrit had a hiccup.

I just tested this, and was able to reproduce your result with the current dockerfile. I then broke the dockerfile into 4 steps to test a bit.
step 1. install everything through libcrypto++-dev
step 2. install libcurl4
step 3. install libcurl4-openssl-dev
step 4. install everything else.
And... of course that worked just fine.
Obviously we don't want to actually do that, but it seems to show that it's some weirdness with the install process on debian sid. Honestly, I'm tired of dealing with sid, so I think we're going to look at the possibility of switching to stable, as that's probably a better representation of what people might be using on their own systems.

- Status changed from New to In Progress
Pushed https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/82411 to switch from debian sid to debian stable.
If/After that's merged, we can close this issue.
