docker.io upgrade to 20.10.2-0ubuntu1~20.04.2 failed

[Mikko Pesari]

Updating docker.io from focal-proposed (19.03.8-0ubuntu1.20.04.2 -> 20.10.2-0ubuntu1~20.04.2) fails with this error message:

mv: cannot stat '/var/lib/docker.migrating/*': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package docker.io (--configure):
 installed docker.io package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

After adding "set -x" to "/var/lib/dpkg/info/docker.io.postinst":

# dpkg --configure -a

If it's any help, my /var/lib/docker is zfs, but it's not under rpool/ROOT:

TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/ rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_uryi4p zfs rw,relatime,xattr,posixacl
├─/var/lib rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_uryi4p/var/lib zfs rw,noatime,xattr,posixacl

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same here. On 3/7 of my hosts I get the error described above. These 3 hosts use ZFS while the remaining 4 don't.

Not sure what to make of this, yet.

[Corny (digineo)]

My workaround is:

mkdir -p /var/lib/docker.migrating/
touch /var/lib/docker.migrating/dummy

Then the upgrade succeeds.
