golang:1.22.0-bullseye linux/amd64 reports dpkg architecture i386

[tomyl]

$ docker run -it --rm --platform linux/amd64 golang:1.22.0-bullseye dpkg --print-architecture
i386

Same for golang:1.22.0-bookworm. This is different from the previous version I was using:

$ docker run -it --rm --platform linux/amd64 golang:1.21.5-bullseye dpkg --print-architecture
amd64

I discovered this because I install docker in one of my Dockerfiles and their repo doesn't seem to provide i386 packages.

Same issue here when running docker run --platform=linux/amd64 --rm -it --entrypoint /bin/sh golang:1.22.0-alpine3.19 and go env. I see:

...
GOARCH='386'
GOBIN=''
GOCACHE='/root/.cache/go-build'
GOENV='/root/.config/go/env'
GOEXE=''
GOEXPERIMENT=''
GOFLAGS=''
GOHOSTARCH='386'
GOHOSTOS='linux'
...

Curiously enough, a docker inspect golang:1.22.0-alpine3.19 gives back

[
    {
        "Id": "sha256:6492fb3676d49badc7bc34c2485ade7e1afb195f12a878784ea62ad758e64252",
        "RepoTags": [
            "golang:1.22.0-alpine3.19"
        ],
        "RepoDigests": [
            "golang@sha256:298646364548cc5e1372e2612a6a2aaa53d44bed00284ecbc89b7aa8a83ad602"
        ],
...
        "Architecture": "386",
...

Seems like the bug could be on the docker side where only the x86 image is available and not x86_64?

A docker pull --platform=linux/amd64 golang:1.22.0-alpine3.19 as recommended by #481 (comment) gives me back the following:

1.22.0-alpine3.19: Pulling from library/golang
Digest: sha256:298646364548cc5e1372e2612a6a2aaa53d44bed00284ecbc89b7aa8a83ad602
Status: Image is up to date for golang:1.22.0-alpine3.19
docker.io/library/golang:1.22.0-alpine3.19

which does seem to match the repo digest that reports 386 as the architecture.

And as another datapoint, I see that when pulling alpine:3.19 directly, I get the following:

$ docker run --platform=linux/amd64 --rm -it --entrypoint /bin/sh alpine:3.19             
Unable to find image 'alpine:3.19' locally
3.19: Pulling from library/alpine

Status: Downloaded newer image for alpine:3.19
/ # uname -m
x86_64
/ # apk --print-arch
x86_64

whereas apk --print-arch gives back x86 in golang:1.22.0-alpine3.19.

From hub.docker.com:

In 1.21-bullseye , there's linux/amd64
https://hub.docker.com/layers/library/golang/1.21-bullseye/images/sha256-47dff7622ed6f45236ba60c029d31165538351ec7d80a95b14b528dd77bc5b9d?context=explore

However, in 1.22-bullseye there's none.

@xorkevin Thanks for pointing me to the #481 (comment). I suppose this is simply a flawed/confusing docker behavior then, when the i386 image is available before amd64. Closing.

Thanks for reporting @tomyl , and thanks for confirming on the actual site @gunturaf . It hadn't occurred to me to look there. Seems like we're all looking for an x86_64 build that doesn't yet exist haha.

#511 (comment)

I ran into the same problem, so I added an architecture refinement to my Dockerfile.
I think this may help to avoid a similar problem.

[tomyl]

The amd64 image is available now 😃

docker run -it --rm amd64/golang:1.22.0-bookworm dpkg --print-architecture
amd64

@stvoidit Thanks for the tip!
