Multi-arch support problem for recent Linux distro (potential solution included)

[Brainarea]

When one is trying to install AFNI (not sure if issue is there for other packages) with a recent distribution (above debian:stretch) like this:

docker run --rm repronim/neurodocker:master generate docker \
--base debian:bullseye --pkg-manager apt \
--afni version=latest method=binaries install_python3=true install_python2=true \

Then a multiarch-support error appears because the package is no longer supported. Multiarch-support is needed for the installation of libxp6 and libpng12.
I found a workaround, not sure if it is viable on a long-term base. I removed multiarch-support from the list of packages downloaded with apt-get and added a manual download and install before the installatino of libxp6 and libpng12.
So for AFNI this is what i get:

ENV PATH="/opt/afni-latest:$PATH" \
    AFNI_PLUGINPATH="/opt/afni-latest"

    && apt-get install -y -q --no-install-recommends \

           netpbm \
           python \
           python3 \
           tcsh \
           xfonts-base \
           xvfb \
    && apt-get clean \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
    && curl -sSL --retry 5 -o /tmp/toinstall.deb http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/multiarch-support_2.28-10_amd64.deb \

    && dpkg -i /tmp/toinstall.deb \
    && rm /tmp/toinstall.deb \
    && apt-get install -f \
    && apt-get clean \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
    && gsl2_path="$(find / -name 'libgsl.so.19' || printf '')" \
    && if [ -n "$gsl2_path" ]; then \
         ln -sfv "$gsl2_path" "$(dirname $gsl2_path)/libgsl.so.0"; \
    fi \
    && ldconfig \
    && echo "Downloading AFNI ..." \
    && mkdir -p /opt/afni-latest \
    && curl -fsSL --retry 5 https://afni.nimh.nih.gov/pub/dist/tgz/linux_openmp_64.tgz \
    | tar -xz -C /opt/afni-latest --strip-components 1

I hope this helps.

I can confirm this. It also happens with SPM12 and Ubuntu 22.04:

generate_docker() {
    docker run -i --rm repronim/neurodocker:0.9.4 generate docker \
        --base-image ubuntu:22.04 \
        --pkg-manager apt \
        --install opts="--quiet" \
            gcc \
            g++ \
            octave \
        --spm12 version=r7771 \
        --freesurfer version=7.1.1 \
        --copy $conda_yml_file /tmp/ \
        --miniconda \
            version=latest \
            yaml_file=/tmp/$conda_yml_file \
            env_name=csp \
        --run 'mkdir /code && chmod 777 /code && chmod a+s /code' \
        --run 'mkdir /data && chmod 777 /data && chmod a+s /data' \
        --run 'mkdir /output && chmod 777 /output && chmod a+s /output' \
        --run 'mkdir ~root/.jupyter' \
        --run 'echo c.NotebookApp.ip = \"0.0.0.0\" > ~root/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py' \
        --run 'echo c.NotebookApp.allow_root=True >> ~root/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py' \
        --run 'echo source activate csp >> ~root/.bashrc' \
        --workdir '/code'
}

@kaczmarj - @sooyounga and I thinking about working on this, but would need some help. Would you just change the afni and spm templates? Do you have a syntax for checking the distribution?

[kaczmarj]

@djarecka - that's great. what do you want me to update in the afni and spm templates?

Do you have a syntax for checking the distribution?

the linux distribution, like ubuntu or debian or centos etc? this info is in /etc/os-release:

$ cat /etc/os-release 
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/

for centos it would like like this:

$ cat /etc/os-release 
NAME="CentOS Linux"
VERSION="7 (Core)"
ID="centos"
ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="7"
PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Linux 7 (Core)"
ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:centos:centos:7"
HOME_URL="https://www.centos.org/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.centos.org/"

CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT="CentOS-7"
CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT_VERSION="7"
REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="centos"
REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="7"

[djarecka]

@kaczmarj - so it looks like for some distribution multiarch-support can't be installed using apt-get but had to be directly downloaded (see the first post). Therefore, I assumed that the templates have to be changed.

I was also wondering if you have syntax for providing slightly different template for different linux distribution.

[kaczmarj]

this is a tricky one. i wonder if we could simply remove multiarch-support from the list of dependencies and test that afni still works. the other dependencies would pull in multiarch-support if they needed it.

at the moment, there is no way of providing different templates for different linux distributions.

libxp6 no longer appears to be accessible at http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/pool/main/libx/libxp/libxp6_1.0.2-2_amd64.deb.
Does anyone have a workaround?

This issue is stale because it has been open for 30 days with no activity.

[stebo85]

I think it's safe to remove multiarch from these recipes because they are not needed anymore - has anyone else tested this and can confirm?
