Presumably 24.6.1 is stable/tested. Am I doing something wrong here?

## TL;DR

Building AWX image fails because it can’t find package `openssl-3.0.7`.

## My environment

- Ubuntu 20.04.6
- Docker 27.3.1, build ce12230
- Python 3.8.10
- ansible 2.9.6

I actually prefer to use pre-built, but that’s not working either. See [Unable to start AWX via docker-compose, git repo tag 24.6.1](https://forum.ansible.com/t/unable-to-start-awx-via-docker-compose-git-repo-tag-24-6-1/11284)

Testing this from a different system gives the same result. The other system details:

- Ubuntu 24.04.1
- Docker 27.3.1, build ce12230
- Python 3.12.3
- ansible [core 2.16.3]

Did you ever figure this out? It seems like a common problem that no one ever seems to answer… The only build that I’ve gotten to work is off of devel, which looks to not actually build everything that is in the release branches…

@greenmoss

The build is failing because openssl-3.0.7 is no longer available in the main Centos Stream 9 repositories. You would need to modify the dockerfile template to add rpm repos pointing to an archive mirror, or modify the install command to use openssl-3.2.1 or newer (which may lead to further build errors if there’s hard dependency on 3.0.7).

@chrisl The devel branch is being overhauled and split into [plugins](https://github.com/ansible/awx-plugins) ([plugins-docs](https://awx-plugins-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)), and other components that may exist in other repos. As a result, the main repo will appear to be missing things, but that is by design. That said, I don’t know how you’re supposed to build devel now. 🤷‍♂️

I have exactly the same issue, running on Ubuntu 24LTS. Here, like with RHEL, “docker” is just an alias for “podman” (podman v4.9.3), so with exactly the same functionality. Hence the same error:  
`awx Error: unable to parse value provided `` to --cache-from: repository must contain neither a tag nor digest: ghcr.io/ansible/awx_devel:HEAD`  
I found that the Makefile generates and runs this offending command  
`docker build -f Dockerfile.dev -t ghcr.io/ansible/awx_devel:HEAD --build-arg BUILDKIT_INLINE_CACHE=1 --cache-from=ghcr.io/ansible/awx_devel:HEAD .`  
When I run manually this same command but without the tags HEAD, then it proceeds very happily until it hits other problems about openssh version (can fix that) and pip versions etc…

Has this ever been resolved ? If so, with which exact O/S and tools versions?

Just remove those 2 lines `openssl-3.0.7 \` from Dockerfile template ( _tools/ansible/roles/dockerfile/templates/Dockerfile.j2_ )
