Comment 0 for bug 1693574

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)

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.
