runc -v empty output

[Kir Kolyshkin]

[Impact]

Users cannot check the runc version running 'runc --version'. This is not a big deal but it would land along with LP #1927219 which is an important fix.

[Test Plan]

Check if 'runc --version' returns the runc version.

[Where problems could occur]

As usual, we deliver most benefit to our users by delivering an upstream experience. A risk of regressions is part of that.

[Original Message]

Apparently runc is built in some non-standard way, so it does not show its version:

kir@ubu2004:~$ runc -v
runc version spec: 1.0.2-dev
go: go1.13.8
libseccomp: 2.5.1

In the output above, version string is empty and there is no newline added, so we have a version of the spec in the same line. Thus, docker has the same problem reporting runc version:

kir@ubu2004:~$ docker version | grep -A2 runc
 runc:
  Version: spec: 1.0.2-dev
  GitCommit:

For comparison, here is the correct/expected output:

[kir@kir-rhat runc]$ runc -v
runc version 1.0.0-rc93+dev
commit: ba257d2de86e7e530eeb28fe697e206630ef45f8
spec: 1.0.2-dev
go: go1.15.8
libseccomp: 2.5.0

Thanks for taking the time to file this bug.

This is a known issue and I already addressed it in my PPA where I am preparing the next version to be uploaded to the archive:

https://launchpad.net/~lucaskanashiro/+archive/ubuntu/container-stack/+packages

Therefore, this will be fixed soon across all supported releases.

[Utkarsh Gupta (utkarsh)]

Hello Kir,

Thanks for taking out time to file this bug and help make Ubuntu server better.

I can very easily reproduce the problem and indeed this is weird. This bug is present since Bionic, at the very least. I'm marking this as "Confirmed" and tagging "server-next" for someone from our team to work on this. Subsequently, I am also marking this as of "low" importance.

Thanks!

[Utkarsh Gupta (utkarsh)]

Eeks, looks like I missed Lucas Kanashiro's comment. Since this is in-progress already, marking so and assigning it to Lucas for posterity. Thanks, Lucas!
