Looking for the maintainers of the archlinux/archlinux docker image

Hi all,

I am trying to create an issue in the gitlab board for the docker image archlinux/archlinux.
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … r/-/issues

But it redirects me to the accounts.archlinux.org for which I do not have an account. There's no info on the README on how to contact any of the maintainers (maybe they don't want to be contacted?).

Are you in here? the base images have been broken for a few days

```

docker run -it  archlinux/archlinux:base-20210207.0.15232 pacman
Unable to find image 'archlinux/archlinux:base-20210207.0.15232' locally
base-20210207.0.15232: Pulling from archlinux/archlinux
Digest: sha256:5effbeff2e75c62639b9420be526fe8d5469412c669048b3a86c37ed0ff21c74
Status: Downloaded newer image for archlinux/archlinux:base-20210207.0.15232
error: failed to initialize alpm library
(could not find or read directory: /var/lib/pacman/)

```

This one works,
```
docker run -it archlinux/archlinux:base-20210203.0.15035 pacman
warning: database file for 'core' does not exist (use '-Sy' to download)
warning: database file for 'extra' does not exist (use '-Sy' to download)
warning: database file for 'community' does not exist (use '-Sy' to download)
error: no operation specified (use -h for help)
```

Check the main contributors [1] or send an email the arch-general (or perhaps arch-releng) mailing list.

The bug seems to be arising from the glibc package. Ignoring the 2.32-5 => 2.33-3 update inside the container atleast keeps pacman working, but breaks other packages.

Re: Looking for the maintainers of the archlinux/archlinux docker image

Running into the same issue as well, the 2-day-old tag archlinux/archlinux:base-devel-20210205.0.15146 appears to work until packages are updated.

Note the instructions are correct to run `pacman -Sy` rather than `pacman` but running `pacman -Syu` from the older image will upgrade glibc and put it in the same invalid state as current images.

stat("/", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
stat("/var/lib/pacman/", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
readlink("/var", 0x7ffe54c08fc0, 1023)  = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
readlink("/var/lib", 0x7ffe54c08fc0, 1023) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
readlink("/var/lib/pacman", 0x7ffe54c08fc0, 1023) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
faccessat2(AT_FDCWD, "/var/lib/pacman/", F_OK, AT_EACCESS) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
write(2, "error: ", 7error: )                  = 7
write(2, "failed to initialize alpm librar"..., 87failed to initialize alpm library
(could not find or read directory: /var/lib/pacman/)
) = 87
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {sa_handler=SIG_DFL, sa_mask=[], sa_flags=SA_RESTORER, sa_restorer=0x7fbedb0bdf80}, NULL, 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGHUP, {sa_handler=SIG_DFL, sa_mask=[], sa_flags=SA_RESTORER, sa_restorer=0x7fbedb0bdf80}, NULL, 8) = 0
exit_group(-1)                          = ?
+++ exited with 255 +++

Another user found the bug report, it appears to be the same as this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/69563
