Version 4.3.0~preview1 available on apt package listing for amd64

[moloneyd-draeger]

Version

4.3.0~preview1

Description

The apt package listings for ubuntu-24.04 / amd64 contain the new version 4.3.0~preview1, which does not appear to run on amd64 correctly.

Current Result:

• After running sudo apt-get install azure-functions-core-tools-4, running the func binary gives an error.

Expected Result:

• Packages available via the apt package manager work for the given os / architecture.

Current Workaround:

• We are adding version pinning files to `/etc/apt/preferences.d/ to exclude version 4.3.0~preview1

Example file:

Package: azure-functions-core-tools-4
Pin: version 4.3.0~preview*
Pin-Priority: -1

Steps to reproduce

Start new VM / pipeline image using ubuntu-24.04 on amd64, e.g. github actions / azure devops pipelines.

curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | gpg --dearmor > microsoft.gpg
sudo mv microsoft.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/microsoft.gpg
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/microsoft-ubuntu-$(lsb_release -cs)-prod $(lsb_release -cs) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install azure-functions-core-tools-4
func --help

Get result:

-bash: /usr/bin/func: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

file /usr/lib/azure-functions-core-tools-4/func
/usr/lib/azure-functions-core-tools-4/func: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1, for GNU/Linux 3.7.0, BuildID[sha1]=fbdb07fe770dc1b3a1ac2fe4729741dc78ca4418, stripped

The installed binary file has incorrect architecture

This saddens us who spent an hour trying to figure this out!
Solution for me was to sudo apt-get remove azure-functions-core-tools-4 && rm -rf /usr/lib/azure-functions-core-tools-4 && npm i -g azure-functions-core-tools@4

As a workaround, you can use the FuncToolsInstaller@0 task in your Azure Pipeline to install the required/latest (which ignore preview) Azure Functions Core Tools.

Can you share the detail command?

Thanks.

Is there any Github Action which can work in the Github workflow?

Not sure, but you can also pin the version as a temporary fix.

sudo apt-get install azure-functions-core-tools-4=4.2.2-1

I've been going around in circles for three hours trying to figure this out (I'm installing in a multi-arch dev container, so assumed I'd messed that up).

Thank you for reporting this. I'm just going to pin the version for now until this is fixed.

Thank you for reporting this issue, 4.3.0-preview1 was built for arm64 to allow folks to try out this new build before we include it in the GA version, and it should not be the default version being installed via apt or any other channel. Will investigate with the release team to see what happened here and see what we can do to fix this. Apologies this even happened :(
