What does the packag "golang-github-docker-docker-credential-helpers" do? ->It stores username and password used for `docker login` to "docker registries" in a "safer way".
When does the bug manifest/occur? ->The bug occurs for instance when running `docker build`. How to get rid of this bug (considering in Ubuntu 18.04 this package is still not fixed month after the report is filed)? -> The bug can be circumvented (especially for those pointless, crazy cases like `docker build` where the credentials appear to be not even necessary) by disabling this "security for your credentials feature" eithe by: a) removing the @&(#* package via: `dpkg -r --force-depends golang-docker-credential-helpers` b) by setting a bogus credential helper program `printf '{ "credsStore":"bogus" }\n' > ~/.docker/config.json` Option b) comes with less side affects (collateral damage) than option a) wich would make `apt` complain about the "broken/missing" package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813003 Title: Invalid free while running docker build To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-github-docker-docker-credential-helpers/+bug/1813003/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
