[Bug 1867675] Re: Install failure for libc6 2.31-0ubuntu6 on armhf

Tue Mar 24 17:58:23 UTC 2020

We ran into the same issue in the containerd packaging scripts
(https://github.com/docker/containerd-packaging/pull/151), and it looks
like the `Cannot utime: Operation not permitted` is caused by seccomp
blocking something.

Now the question is if the default seccomp profile is blocking something
that does not have to be blocked, if a different syscall is made when
installing this package or if a syscall is made that is not understood
by libseccomp (perhaps different syscalls were added for 32-bit
platforms).

Not an expert in this area, but thought I'd at least add the info I have
at this moment.
