As the title says, it appears something about the surricata build changed, causing the current build process fail due to missing dependencies. I’ve already created a bug report, just wanted to raise the issue here as well (and crosslink the report and the forum entry).
Best regards
I can confirm that:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
suricata : Depends: libhtp2 (>= 1:0.5.50-1~bpo12+1~) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: An unexpected failure occurred, exiting...
and this is because of
Del libhtp2 1:0.5.50-1~bpo12+1 [72.6 kB]
The missing dependency was fixed, awesome!
However, I still fail to build correctly, now I encounter this issue, seemingly around the end of the build process:
...

This could definitely be a purely local issue on my setup, it’s not that clear to me yet. I’d appreciate any help.
EDIT: It indeed was an oversight on my end, I was still using the outdated docker tag ‘current’ instead of ‘rolling’. The build is working again! Marking as solved
