Sdkmanager docker image tries to install libxml2-utils and fails

[kylee]

I’ve been using the Sdkmanager docker image to flash my AGX.

docker run -it --rm --privileged \ -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb/ -v /dev:/dev -v $HOME/sdkmanager:/home/nvidia:slave \ sdkmanager:1.8.0.10363-Ubuntu_18.04 \ --cli install --offline --downloadfolder /home/nvidia/4.5.1 --checkforupdates false --datacollection disable --license accept \ --product Jetson --version 4.5.1 --targetos Linux --target JETSON_AGX_XAVIER \ --flash all --exitonfinish

This week it returns error when trying to install libxml2-utils during the flash process.
Turns out sdkmanager will download an install script to /tmp/tmp_NV_L4T_FLASH_XAVIER_WITH_OS_IMAGE_COMP.sh (RED FLAG) and execute it.
The script did not run apt update so the apt install libxml2-utils fails.

It is a known issue that libxml2-utils was a missing dependency and it seems the script was deployed recently to “fix” this issue.

Wayne, once again, thank you for the quick reply (on Saturday none-the-less!) If I understand properly, you are suggesting that on the host Ubuntu PC, I run: $ sudo apt-get install libxml2-utils And then re-run the SDK manager on the dead boards? Also, in terms of RMA, I already have RMA and packing slips from all the sellers. But am holding onto the boards for a few days to see if you guys (nvidia) wants to directly find out what is going on here. All of these units were purchased in la…

Here are my suggestion:

1. sdkmanager should not download and execute script from the internet
2. missing dependency should be fixed by updating the .deb and docker image rather than a script

Thanks for reporting this issue, I have forwarded to our internal SDK manager team to improve it, we will have better offline installation support in coming release.
