I can’t find an issue tracker on github for mender-convert.

I’m following the documentation here:
https://docs.mender.io/2.3/artifacts/debian-family/building-a-mender-debian-image

When running ‘docker-build’, I get the following errors:

Step 2/15 : RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y     build-essential     git     liblzma-dev

Hi @cakebread,

Unfortunately the Docker base image that we used for the 2.0.0 got removed or Ubuntu stopped supporting it.

It was fixed in, https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender-convert/commit/cf3bd3eebe6ce397b8bb1f5d697b8470adf92e40.

But you will need to use the 2.0.x branch to get this fix. You can change branch by e.g running:

git checkout 2.0.x
