Hello,

We have encountered issues with our docker installation after the upgrade from 24.0.2 to 24.0.3 on the following systems:

  • Debian 10
  • Debian 11
  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • Ubuntu 22.04

According to the logs, it looks like the upgrade failed but we could not find the reason why:

~$ dpkg -l | grep docker-ce
iF  docker-ce                            5:24.0.3-1~ubuntu.20.04~focal     amd64        Docker: the open-source application container engine

When running the upgrade command it fails when starting the docker service:

$ sudo apt-get upgrade

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Tried to uninstall docker-ce and install it but that also did not help. For now we downgraded the servers that are affected to 24.0.2 and it works fine.
