disconnect packages managed by alpine apk but keep them on the system
I've installed nextcloud on proxmox in an alpine container using ttecks (rip!) helper script. After some tweaks, I am now able to update nextcloud from the application itself.

I've installed nextcloud on proxmox in an alpine container using ttecks (rip!) helper script. After some tweaks, I am now able to update nextcloud from the application itself.
Now I have the following issue: Nextcloud is still managed by alpines apk, so when I run
apk upgrade, the nextcloud package will be updated too, what will break my nextcloud instance.
Is there a way to remove (the nextcloud) packages from the management by apk? Like removal of the apk database? I tried to remove it from the /etc/apk/world file. The result is nextcloud beeing removed by apk :/

A coworker recently shelled into an Alpine-based container and ran

More specifically, he wanted only the command-line client of the redis package (which includes both client and server).
I've scoured the web, and read through all of the relevant [man pages](https://man.archlinux.org/listing/extra/apk-tools/) , but I can't seem to find the invocation that he used.

Alpine: How to forcibly remove a package even if it would break dependencies?
I'm trying to build a super-minimal Linux with Alpine. I don't need `linux-firmware` as it installs firmware for everything, using up 300+MB of space. This is a stock installation. However I can't uninstall any of the linux-firmware packages: dev-alpine:~# apk del --force --force-broken-world linux-...
I'm trying to build a super-minimal Linux with Alpine. I don't need
linux-firmware as it installs firmware for everything, using up 300+MB of space. This is a stock installation. However I can't uninstall any of the linux-firmware packages:
dev-alpine:~# apk del --force --force-broken-world linux-firmware
World updated, but the following packages are not removed due to:
linux-firmware: linux-vanilla
OK: 504 MiB in 122 packages
More than half the stock install is the firmware!
Short of just deleting the files themselves (which will come back on an update!), how can I force Alpine to remove all the firmware files I don't need?
(Given that the firmware files already seem to be separated out, it seems that at some point it was considered that you would want to selectively install only firmware you need... but even that won't work:)
dev-alpine:~# apk del --force --force-broken-world linux-firmware-amdgpu
World updated, but the following packages are not removed due to:
linux-firmware-amdgpu: linux-firmware linux-vanilla
OK: 504 MiB in 122 packages

Unable to install or upgrade to specific version of alpine/expat 2.6.0-r0 in alpine docker image
Due to latest vulnerability detected CVE-2023-52425, CVE-2023-52426, I need to upgrade alpine/expat 2.5.0-r2 to expat 2.6.0-r0 in my alpine docker image.

Due to latest vulnerability detected CVE-2023-52425, CVE-2023-52426, I need to upgrade alpine/expat 2.5.0-r2 to expat 2.6.0-r0 in my alpine docker image.
I tried various ways (see below) to upgrade the expat package version during docker build, but the resulting image still shows alpine/expat 2.5.0-r2. I would appreciate any advice on how to do this.
referencing :
https://alpine.pkgs.org/3.19/alpine-main-x86_64/expat-2.6.0-r0.apk.html
In my Dockerfile, I tried the following 3 ways to install expat 2.6.0-r0 to no avail:
1) RUN apk update && apk add --upgrade --no-cache expat
2) RUN curl -O http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.19/main/x86_64/expat-2.6.0-r0.apk
RUN apk add --allow-untrusted expat-2.6.0-r0.apk
3) RUN apk add --upgrade --no-cache expat --repository='https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/v3.19/main/x86_64/expat '
4) RUN echo http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.19/main/x86_64/ >> /etc/apk/repositories
RUN apk --no-cache --update add expat

BAD signature when installing specific package with apk after forced poweroff
Earlier I was playing around with my PinePhone running postmarketOS Edge (based on Alpine Linux Edge) and while installing `gcc-go` using apk via the command `sudo apk add gcc-go` the phone froze.

Earlier I was playing around with my PinePhone running postmarketOS Edge (based on Alpine Linux Edge) and while installing
gcc-go using apk via the command sudo apk add gcc-go the phone froze. As such, I did a forced power off and booted it back up. Now, however, when I do sudo apk add gcc-go it gives me the following output:
(1/3) Installing libucontext (0.11-r0)
ERROR: libucontext-0.11-r0: BAD signature
(2/3) Installing libgo (10.2.0-r5)
ERROR: libgo-10.2.0-r5: BAD signature
(3/3) Installing gcc-go (10.2.0-r5)
ERROR: gcc-go-10.2.0-r5: BAD signature
3 errors; 2567 MiB in 711 packages
Go is subsequently then not installed, and when adding any package — including ones that aren't gcc-go — I get the same errors. It does stop if I do sudo apk del gcc-go, but if I subsequently attempt to install gcc-go via the same command as earlier the same error arises. It also persists if I add --no-cache to the install operation.
Why is this, and what might I do to resolve it so that gcc-go can be installed?

How does apk's replaces work when the package being replaced gets upgraded?

Say I have a package A, and package B. Package B contains some files which deliberately conflict with package A, and it is desirable for package B's files to be favoured over the ones in package A if a user installs both. The easy solution to this with apk-tools is to have package B include
replaces=A in its APKBUILD so that the resulting package contains this metadata.
Given this, if package A is installed and then B, B's conflicting files should take precedent. However, what happens if package A then gets upgraded and B doesn't? Do the conflicting files from A take precedent, or does apk keep the ones from B?

I want to use Alpine inside of a Distrobox container using the [alpine-toolbox-edge] image and do various tasks involving the
abuild program. I followed the instructions in the ["Creating an Alpine package" article], but I quickly ran into an issue where $ abuild checksum gave me a permission denied error despite that I had added myself to the abuild group, changed owner of the /var/cache/distfiles directory, and logged out and back in. As such, I decided to check what groups I'm in and noticed that the list looked like this:
$USER nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody
(where $USER is my actual username, not $USER verbatim)
As such, it seems like I haven't actually been added to the abuild group. I then tried the alternative command listed in the article, # chmod a+w /var/cache/distfiles. This made $ abuild checksum execute fine, but when I went on to run $ abuild -r to build the package I got the following error: abuild-apk: User neboula is not a member of group abuild, which is where I'm at now.
How can I set up a Distrobox container where abuild actually can abuild Alpine APK packages?

Alpine Linux: apk cache APKINDEX checksum details
In Alpine Linux, when I run the command `apk update` it looks at my `/etc/apk/repositories` file and downloads the `APKINDEX.tar.gz` file from each repository.

In Alpine Linux, when I run the command
apk update it looks at my /etc/apk/repositories file and downloads the APKINDEX.tar.gz file from each repository. It then renames each APKINDEX tar file using a checksum to be in the format APKINDEX.12345678.tar.gz where 12345678 represent some checksum.
I've been trying to understand how this checksum works because I'd like to update the package listing for an offline Alpine installation. To better understand it, I am reading the source code for the apk tool . From the source, I understand that the checksum is 4 bytes of a SHA1 hash, but I can't figure out what the SHA1 hash is taken on.
Where are the 4 bytes of the APKINDEX checksum coming from? Specifically, what is the algorithm for recalculating it? I apologize if this has already been answered but I've spent multiple days searching the internet and not come up with anything.

How to install sudo on Alpine 3.17 VM?

I have installed Alpine r3.17 on a VM under KVM. I want to install
sudo tool.
# su -
# apk update
...
OKL 4994 distinct packages available
# apk add sudo
ERROR: unable to select packages:
sudo (no such package):
required by: world[sudo]
After checking the Alpine website, I see sudo is a valid package:
* [Alpine packages -sudo](https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/v3.17/community/x86_64/sudo)
Valid for release 3.17. I've seen similar questions on the web for r3.16 as well, so I don't think this is a new problem. And yes for a virtul machine, not a container, I do want sudo on key machines.
Yet apk does not find it. Everywhere I have looked so far show an install command like:
# apk add sudo
For example:
* [Post Installation Recommendations](https://docs.alpinelinux.org/user-handbook/0.1a/Working/post-install.html) , [Alpine user handbook](https://docs.alpinelinux.org/user-handbook)
* [Add, Delete And Grant Sudo Privileges To Users In Alpine Linux](https://ostechnix.com/add-delete-and-grant-sudo-privileges-to-users-in-alpine-linux/)
* [QEMU](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/QEMU) , [Alpine Linux wiki](https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki)
* Shows sudo usage, but not how it was installed.
I wondered if '*world*' is relevant, as in: "required by: world[sudo]"? Do I need to explicitly reference another repository. According to the package docs sudo is in "community". Additionally, the package: spice-vdagent is not found for installation, but I was able to install spice-0.15.1.
The problem is not unique to the sudo utility. Any useful advice is welcome. Thank you in advance.

**Why I want to know this:**
Currently, I use apt-get source to get the source code for all packages within my Debian based docker images to comply with the GPL when I distribute the docker images.
Now there are e few docker images where I would like to use the alpine based docker image but I don't know how to get the source code used to build the packages within these docker images.
**What I found out so far:**
If there were an equivalent for
apt-get source for alpine linux this wouldn't be a problem (the documentation does not mention a source option for apk)
The Github page only contains the scripts and patches but not the exact source code, but then the build scripts just seem to get the source code from upstream.
They have to provide the source code somewhere since they are surely distributing some GPL licensed binaries within there docker images.
**How to get (exactly) the source code used to build the packages of an alpine docker image?**

Alpine not installing "latest" package
I am trying to install latest version of chromium (v108.0.5359.125), and I have the following in my Dockerfile: FROM node:14.20.1-alpine3.16 ENV CHROME_BIN=/usr/bin/chromium-browser RUN echo @latest https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community >> /etc/apk/repositories && \ echo @14....
I am trying to install latest version of chromium (v108.0.5359.125), and I have the following in my Dockerfile:
FROM node:14.20.1-alpine3.16
ENV CHROME_BIN=/usr/bin/chromium-browser
RUN echo @latest https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community >> /etc/apk/repositories && \
echo @14.20.1 https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.14/main >> /etc/apk/repositories
# Install dependencies
RUN apk --no-cache --update add \
libsrt@latest \
chromium@latest \
firefox@latest
I can clearly see that the Chromium version in the Alpine's repository is indeed v108 .
However, for some reason it's installing version 102!
(131/133) Installing chromium (102.0.5005.182-r0)
cat /etc/apk/repositories:
https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.16/main
https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.16/community
@latest https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/latest-stable/community
@14.20.1 https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.14/main
I'm not sure why this is happening, any pointers is much appreciated!
EDIT: I do not want to specify the version, instead, I'd like to install whatever is latest. (so no chromium=108.0.5359.125-r0)

However, as the [latest comment](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/717698/374303) said:
> Now that several years have gone by, all of the answers above are invalid, and there does not seem a stable solution to the problem.
**Details:**
I tried to install in my alpine the ffmpeg over via community repositories with:
apk add ffmpeg
But I got the following errors:
ERROR: unable to select packages:
so:libcrypto.so.3 (no such package):
required by: libsrt-1.5.1-r0[so:libcrypto.so.3]
I've done
apk add libcrypto3, and also apk add libressl3.5-libcrypto as per that Q&A, but the problem persisted.
My alpine is alpine v3.16.
**Updates:**
Someone suggested apk add ffmpeg=5.0.1-r1 for alpine v3.16, but I'm getting:
% apk search ffmpeg
ffmpeg-5.1.2-r1
% apk add ffmpeg=5.0.1-r1
ERROR: unable to select packages:

How to show details of error in Alpine apk

I use Alpine Linux 3.9.3 x86_64
when I issue:
# apk upgrade
the output is:
3 errors; 1973 MiB in 519 packages
How can I get the details about those 3 errors? I tried the
--verbose flag but result is same.
These are the workarounds I thought would work:
apk -sv fix
-s (or --simulate) should simulate the fix without doing it and -v (or --verbose) should show more details but neither is working.
The result is:
# apk -sv fix
(1/3) Reinstalling fuse-common (3.2.6-r1)
(2/3) Reinstalling fuse-openrc (3.2.6-r1)
(3/3) Reinstalling xorgproto (2018.4-r0)
3 errors; 524 packages, 2845 dirs, 48016 files, 2002 MiB
But still no details, just a short summary. I wish to know what's wrong and I can't find any logs or something like that.
