Recent python:3.9-slim causing some libraries to break after removing --with-system-expat #984
Closed as not planned
Description
Activity
Found a workaround myself. From the
README:Use this image and install any required Debian packages before running pip install.
So I added to my dockerfile:
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install libexpat1 -yRight after the
FROMand the issue is gone.So, it can be closed if the removal of
--with-system-expatwas intentionalsame issue from 3.10.14 to 3.10.15 and uwsgi that need the library (libexpact)
The removal was intentional -- can you elaborate on what the problem is? What's the error message? Is there an easy way to reproduce the problem?
Managed to get a clean reproducer:

While unfortunate, yes, this does mean you'll want/need to install
libexpat1manually in the slim images (it being included previously was incidental, not part of the intentional interface of the image).- added a commit that references this issue

Hey, thanks for your great effort in this project and I apologize ahead if my issue is not an issue :).
With the recent
3.9-slim, after merging #980 , the--with-system-expatflag was removed along withlibexpat-dev, this causes all my images to break since a requirement I use extensively ,fiona, needs it.Assuming this change is mandatory, I would be happy for a solution, workaround or whatever can help me get through it. Many thanks!
