@mkumatag the base image changed recently #461 , please fetch the latest sources and try to build again the base image.

@aojea I have the latest master code, and even submitted a PR to fix the issues I mentioned.

ERROR1 is happening while building the base-image via apt method, this is happening because of the following thing:

failing while adding the apt-key:

DEBU[09:03:55] Running: /usr/bin/docker [docker exec kind-build-d0e9e8e8-853e-4095-9c0d-d82d67689c2a /bin/sh -c curl -s https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | apt-key add -]

somehow gnupg is missing somehow in ubuntu:19.04 release and we need to install it manually to add the apt keys.

╰─ docker run -ti ubuntu:19.04 bash

root@c1cf9af7ba35:/# dpkg -l | grep gnupg

ERROR2 is happening because of mount command at
https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind/blob/master/images/base/entrypoint#L65 which creates a problem if that directory does not exist in another environment(e.g: some stand alone env not in google cloud)

awesome,
regarding ERROR1 Ben is leaning toward deprecating the apt build, see #491, but I found it useful too :)

Regarding ERROR2 is something I can't understand because I think that all linux hosts have that folder /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name

[BenTheElder]

error1: has some prior discussion 😁

error2: We can add a check for if /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name exists, but it's a VFS and should exist 🤔

I understand the concern here, but other methods like docker does not work other non-amd architectures at the moment, so apt is the only solution at the moment :( So we can support timebeing till we get some other way of building the images(tar, docker etc)

error2: We can add a check for if /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name exists, but it's a VFS and should exist 🤔

This is based on the SMBIOS support matrics! currently this sys class file will be populated only for following archs and will not be there for ppc64le and s390x

 IA-32 (x86),
388  x64 (x86-64, Intel64, AMD64, EM64T),
389  Intel® Itanium® architecture,
390  32-bit ARM (Aarch32),
391  64-bit ARM (Aarch64).

error1: yes, I'd like to get tar, but let's fix apt until the tarball support is in.

err2: thanks! I was just digging into that. unless we expect code to detect architecture based on this, I think I'll come back and ensure the entire directory is fake for CI <-> local consistency.
