Dear Tumbleweed users,

As was announced over the course of the last few weeks, glibc has been prepared to be updated to version 2.34. This took quite a while in staging to get all the builds and the staging QA to settle. But that goal was reached, and openSUSE:Factory has been rebuilt with glibc 2.34 (big snapshot ahead)

Now, unfortunately, we have detected some more issues in the full product testing around docker:

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1190670

docker is blocking a syscall (we had similar cases with glibc 2.33)

We managed to get our own docker package in Factory fixed (part of snapshot 0920 - should we release that), which would mean TW docker containers would (again) for the time being only run on TW hosts (and other hosts with a docker version that has been fixed)

Docker upstream had been informed of this issue on July 27: https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/42681; the pull-request was merged on Jul 30. But this only found its way into the 'future docker version' - i.e. even the latest docker version available is still not carrying this fix.

If you work with any hosting providers that run a docker version without a backport from https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/42836 make sure to reach out to them and ask to get this corrected.

There is not much more we can do from our side - the alternative is 'holding TW from rolling until everybody gets a new docker version'. We on the openSUSE Release Team do not feel this is a viable option, as a new docker version could be months away.

Please help to make sure this information spreads as far as possible.

Cheers, Dominique
