Install docker on Ubuntu 16.04 - problem with linux-image-extra
I would like to install docker on ubuntu 16.04 (on a virtual server from hosteurope).
The install instructions say I have to install linux-image-*
So I did:
sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r) linux-image-extra-virtual
But the package is not found:
Unable to locate package linux-image-extra-4.4.0-042stab120.11
Does anybody of you know how to solve this problem?
TIA

Solution 1:
To install linux-image-extra
run the following commands :
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install linux-image-4.4.0-51-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-4.4.0-51-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-virtual
Solution 2:
Here is my approach to install docker-engine, see if it helps
I followed the instructions from docker official page to install the docker-engine, but i faced the same issue as you did
So, ignored to install the linux-image-extra-* packages` and went ahead to install docker-engine
$apt-get install docker-engine

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
docker-engine : Depends: init-system-helpers (>= 1.18~) but 1.14 is to be installed
Depends: lsb-base (>= 4.1+Debian11ubuntu7) but 4.1+Debian11ubuntu6 is to be installed
Depends: libdevmapper1.02.1 (>= 2:1.02.97) but 2:1.02.77-6ubuntu2 is to be installed
Depends: libltdl7 (>= 2.4.6) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libsystemd0 but it is not installable
Recommends: aufs-tools but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: cgroupfs-mount but it is not installable or
cgroup-lite but it is not going to be installed
Ran the following command to see the entry is returned for each version of Docker that is available to install.
~# apt-cache policy docker-engine
docker-engine:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.12.5-0~ubuntu-xenial
Version table:

1.12.4-0~ubuntu-xenial 0
500 https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo/ ubuntu-xenial/main amd64 Packages
Ran following command to install specific version of docker-engine (From above: Candidate: 1.12.5-0~ubuntu-xenial)
apt-get install docker-engine=1.12.5-0~ubuntu-xenial
docker installed successfully!
Solution 3:
You may need to install some Linux image extras. Run the below command, and then try again:
sudo apt install linux-image-extra-virtual
