containerd.io package version 2.2.1-1~ubuntu.22.04~jammy not available (404 error)

[Steen3S]

The role fails when trying to install Docker on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) because it attempts to install containerd.io=2.2.1-1~ubuntu.22.04~jammy, which returns a 404 Not Found error from the Docker repository.

Error Message

Environment

• OS: Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy)
• Ansible Role: geerlingguy.docker
• Docker Version: 5:29.1.3-1ubuntu.22.04jammy

Workaround

vars:
  docker_install_compose_plugin: false
  docker_add_repo: true
  docker_packages:
    - "docker-ce=5:29.1.3-1~ubuntu.22.04~jammy"
    - "docker-ce-cli=5:29.1.3-1~ubuntu.22.04~jammy"
    - "docker-ce-rootless-extras=5:29.1.3-1~ubuntu.22.04~jammy"
    - "containerd.io=2.2.0-2~ubuntu.22.04~jammy"  # Available version
    - "docker-buildx-plugin=0.30.1-1~ubuntu.22.04~jammy"

Suggested Fix

Would it be possible to:

1. Check for available package versions before attempting installation, or
2. Fall back gracefully when a specific package version is not available

this is related with containerd/containerd#12741
My workaround:

 roles:
    - role: geerlingguy.docker
      vars:
        docker_edition: "ce"
        docker_add_repo: true
        # Temporary fix for containerd.io installation issue on Ubuntu 24.04
        # https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues/12741
        docker_packages:
        - "containerd.io=2.2.0-2~ubuntu.24.04~noble"
        - "docker-ce"
        - "docker-ce-cli"
        - "docker-buildx-plugin"
        - "docker-compose-plugin"
        - "docker-ce-rootless-extras"```
