#1 Re: Other Issues » Installing openssh-client now failing in the docker container » Today 12:52:50
Going to send a bug report to https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/m … stinfo/dng which was mentioned on https://hub.docker.com/r/devuan/devuan
#2 Re: Other Issues » Installing openssh-client now failing in the docker container » Today 12:49:56
Okay, can confirm this has nothing to do with my setup but is a bug in the container or distro release, and that the permissions of `/usr/sbin` are the issue.
docker run --rm -it devuan/devuan:latest bash

Okay, did a verbose on the chmod and got back:
'/github/home/.local/share/dorothy/user/commands' could not be accessed
'/github/home/.config/dorothy/commands' could not be accessed
'/github/home/.local/share/dorothy/commands' could not be accessed
'/github/home/.config/dorothy/commands' could not be accessed
mode of '/github/home/.local/bin' retained as 0755 (rwxr-xr-x)
mode of '/usr/local/sbin' retained as 0755 (rwxr-xr-x)
mode of '/usr/local/bin' retained as 0755 (rwxr-xr-x)
mode of '/usr/sbin' changed from 0777 (rwxrwxrwx) to 0775 (rwxrwxr-x)
mode of '/usr/bin' retained as 0755 (rwxr-xr-x)
mode of '/sbin' retained as 0775 (rwxrwxr-x)
mode of '/bin' retained as 0755 (rwxr-xr-x)So the cause of the failure seems to be this item of concern:

Okay, I solved this by running `chmod -f o-w ...` on all paths in PATH. I am not yet sure which PATHs were the problem.

As of a few days ago, which attempting to install openssh-client inside the devuan docker container `devuan/devuan:latest` on github actions is resulting in the following error:
