Description of problem: While image comprising of multiple layers (for example freeipa-server which has dozens of them) is being removed by docker rmi freeipa-server in one terminal, docker images run in another terminal says layer does not exist even if there are multitude of other images on the machine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): docker-1.12.6-6.gitae7d637.fc25.x86_64 How reproducible: Not really deterministic but happening often, especially on slow machine. Steps to Reproduce: 1. git clone https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa-container.git 2. docker build -t freeipa-server freeipa-container 3. in one terminal: docker rmi freeipa-server 4. in another terminal: docker images Actual results: # docker images Error response from daemon: layer does not exist # docker images Error response from daemon: layer does not exist Expected results: No error, either both images or just the fedora:25 image listed. Additional info:
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
I no longer see the issue with docker-1.13.1-40.git877b6df.fc26.x86_64, primarily because image removal is now much faster.
