Hi everyone, having some issues installing the geos package. I'm using alpine in docker, and trying to apk add --no-cache geos, but it seems geos isn't in the package index, even though I can find it here: https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/testing/x86_64/geos

Here's the start of my dockerfile, the last line is where building fails:

FROM alpine:edge
 
RUN cat /etc/apk/repositories
 
# update alpine linux package manager
RUN echo "ipv6" >> /etc/modules
RUN apk update
 
# basic flask environment
RUN apk add --no-cache bash git nginx uwsgi uwsgi-python3 \
	&& pip3 install --upgrade pip \
	&& pip3 install flask
 
# for psycopg2
RUN apk add --no-cache postgresql-dev gcc python3-dev musl-dev
 
# for shapely
RUN apk add --no-cache geos-dev

And here's the output I get while running that

Bumping this if that's okay, still having this issue.

Can you confirm that the repositories in the /etc/apk/repositories file are uncommented? Also, I just pulled the alpine:edge image and cat the file:

$ docker run -it alpine:edge sh
/ #
/ # cat /etc/apk/repositories
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community

You see here: https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/testing/x86/geos-dev

that the package is in the testing repo, try adding:

http://mirror.leaseweb.com/alpine/edge/testing

to the repo list

like:

# inside your Dockerfile before you try to add geos-dev
RUN echo "http://mirror.leaseweb.com/alpine/edge/testing" >> /etc/apk/repositories

Let me know if this works for you! :)
