Issue with Nala Package Manager When Setting Up Docker for ROS1 Noetic

[joseriyancyriac]

Environment

• Host OS: Ubuntu 22.04
• Target Docker Environment: Ubuntu 20.04
• ROS Version: ROS1 Noetic

Description

When attempting to set up Docker for ROS1 Noetic the process fails. The failure seems to be related to the use of nala as the package manager.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run the script to set up Docker for ROS1 Noetic given here
2. Observe that the script fails when executing the commands that involve nala.

Expected Behavior

The script should successfully set up a Docker environment for ROS1 without any errors.

Actual Behavior

The script fails, and the Docker setup for ROS1 is not completed. The error seems to occur at the step where nala is used to install packages.

Relevant Part of the Script (for both standard and nvidia docker)

# ... (in templates/docker/standard.dockerfile and /nvidia.dockerfile) ...
RUN nala update -y && apt install -y nala
# ...

This happens because nala is not available per default on 20.04
