alpine:3.14 docker libtls.so.20 conflict

Question

So I am running into an error with the latest docker build from alpine. alpine:3.14.0 was released about a day ago and was trying to install libressl and libressl-dev and both seem to fail with the error below. My work around at the moment was to build using the alpine:3.12.0 as 3.12.0 seems to not have libretls installed. Although I would like to know how to fix this. I tried to remove libretls but that didn't work (error also below). Thanks

$ docker -v
Docker version 20.10.6, build 370c289
$ docker run --rm -it alpine /bin/ash

this is the upstream issue. Downgrading to alpine 3.13 works for now until the issue is fixed. Normally docker images support fixed alpine versions (thanks to MrGlass comment). For example

python:3-alpine -> python:3-alpine3.13
php:7.4-fpm-alpine -> php:7.4-fpm-alpine3.13

Perfect. If anyone here comes with the exact case I had, I was as simple as changing my projects base image from `python:3-alpine` to `python:3-alpine3.13` – MrGlass Jun 30 '21 at 15:05
I used this one `python:3.7-alpine3.13` and it worked well – A Campos Jul 01 '21 at 18:03
I have been struggling with this for several days. Glad I found this. Unblocked in 30 seconds! – Theodore R. Smith Jul 09 '21 at 15:30
any resolution to this so we can move beyond alpine 3.13? – Stealth Rabbi Mar 14 '23 at 18:26
