[build] Stop installing python3-regex via apt to avoid pip uninstall-no-record-file failure by yijingyan2 · Pull Request #28144 · sonic-net/sonic-buildimage

yijingyan2 · 2026-06-29T13:37:17Z

Why I did it

target/python-wheels/trixie/sonic_utilities-1.2-py3-none-any.whl-install and sonic-marvell-prestera-armhf.bin started failing during the sonic-utilities wheel install with:

Cannot uninstall regex 2024.11.6
╰─> The package's contents are unknown: no RECORD file was found for regex.

 hint: The package was installed by debian. You should check if it can uninstall the package.

sonic-slave-trixie and sonic_debian_extension installed python3-regex from debian apt repo in dist-packages folder without a pip RECORD file, so pip cannot uninstall it later.
When the sonic-utilities wheel pulls in a newer regex - currently triggered by sonic-utilities -> docker-image-py (the unbounded docker-image-py>=0.1.10 dependency now resolves to 0.2.0, published 2026-06-29, which requires regex>=2026.6.28) - pip failed on uninstall-no-record-file.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the SONiC build environment/templates to avoid installing python3-regex via Debian apt, preventing pip failures when a wheel later needs to upgrade regex (pip cannot uninstall the apt-installed package due to missing RECORD metadata).

Changes:

Removes python3-regex installation from the Debian extension template to let pip resolve/install regex via Python dependencies.
Adds a cleanup step in the trixie build slave image to remove python3-regex if present, avoiding apt vs pip ownership conflicts.

File	Description
sonic-slave-trixie/Dockerfile.j2	Removes `python3-regex` from the build slave image to avoid pip uninstall/upgrade conflicts.
files/build_templates/sonic_debian_extension.j2	Stops installing `python3-regex` via apt in the target filesystem, documenting the pip RECORD conflict rationale.

+# Let pip own these (avoid apt vs pip no-RECORD uninstall conflicts)
+RUN eatmydata apt-get remove -y python3-regex || true

…re/sonic' in registry test (#4674) #### What I did `docker-image-py` was pulled in unpinned (`docker-image-py>=0.1.10`). When **0.2.0** was released (2026-06-29) it changed `Reference.split_docker_domain()` to treat an uppercase first path component as a registry domain (Docker Hub repository names must be lowercase). This broke `tests/sonic_package_manager/test_registry.py::test_get_registry_for`, which resolved the reference `Azure/sonic`. The key point is that `Azure/sonic` is **not a valid Docker Hub reference** in the first place — Docker Hub namespaces must be lowercase (`Azure/...` is rejected as an invalid namespace). So instead of pinning `docker-image-py` to `==0.1.13` (#4660) or reimplementing `split_docker_domain()`, this change simply fixes the test to use the valid lowercase reference `azure/sonic` and drops the pin (`>=0.1.10`), so registry resolution and the test are correct regardless of the installed `docker-image-py` version and the build can adopt 0.2.0. It pairs with sonic-net/sonic-buildimage#28144, which stops installing `python3-regex` via apt so 0.2.0's `regex>=2026.6.28` installs cleanly. #### How I did it - `setup.py`: `docker-image-py==0.1.13` → `docker-image-py>=0.1.10` (drop the pin added in #4660). - `tests/sonic_package_manager/test_registry.py`: `resolver.get_registry_for('Azure/sonic')` → `resolver.get_registry_for('azure/sonic')`. #### How to verify it Run the package-manager registry test with `docker-image-py` 0.2.0 installed: ``` pytest tests/sonic_package_manager/test_registry.py::test_get_registry_for ``` It passes (CI green) — `azure/sonic` resolves to the `DockerHubRegistry` singleton regardless of the `docker-image-py` version. #### Previous command output (if the output of a command-line utility has changed) N/A - no user-facing command output changes. #### New command output (if the output of a command-line utility has changed) N/A - no user-facing command output changes.
