Public bug reported:

[Impact] 

The docker plugin in sosreport doesn't collect informations for Ubuntu.

In docker.py for the Ubuntu Plugin, the docker command is set to
'docker.io'[1] which seems to be a old workaround that has been
removed[2], thus the docker plugin is no longer calling an existing
docker binary which as a result doesn't collect docker informations in
Ubuntu.

[1]- Plugin : docker.py

# Name collision with another package requires docker binary rename
docker_cmd = 'docker.io'

[2]- docker.io package : debian/changelog

docker.io (1.3.1~dfsg1-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Remove deprecated /usr/bin/docker.io symlink
- added as a temporary shim in 1.0.0~dfsg1-1 (13 Jun 2014)
- unused by package-installed files in 1.2.0~dfsg1-1 (13 Sep 2014)

[Test Case]

# Install sosreport from the Ubuntu archivee
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sosreport

# Run sosreport
$ sosreport -o docker

# Extract the sosreport*.tar.xz file generated by the above command
found in /tmp

# Look in "/path_to_sosreport/sos_commands/docker/" and note that all
files are empty with "0" size.

[Regression Potential]

No regression, this is a trivial fix that will allow sosreport to start 
collecting the docker informations again.
If for some reasons, a regression is found, it would strictly 100% limited to 
docker plugin of sosreport.

[Original Description]

This Launchpad bug is based on an existing GitHub bug[1].

The docker plugin is currently broken in sosreport. In docker.py[2] for
Ubuntu the docker command is set to 'docker.io'.

    docker_cmd = 'docker.io'

The docker.io package used to have a docker.io binary but this was
reverted in this debian/changelog from Ubuntu Xenial/16.04 (LTS):

 docker.io (1.3.1~dfsg1-2) unstable; urgency=medium
    * Remove deprecated /usr/bin/docker.io symlink
      - added as a temporary shim in 1.0.0~dfsg1-1 (13 Jun 2014)
      - unused by package-installed files in 1.2.0~dfsg1-1 (13 Sep 2014)
   -- Tianon Gravi <[email protected]>  Fri, 07 Nov 2014 13:11:34 -0700

The Docker Community and Enterprise Editions (docker-ce and docker-ee
packages) also use the plain docker binary and this change is necessary
to make the sosreport docker module work again.

There are currently two different pull requests that fix this issue:

https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/1009
https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/1012

We should SRU this fix once one of them is accepted.
