I’m following the instruction as usual. This time on Xenial but installation doesn’t work.

root@d1e9ecc8dd9e:~# dpkg -i couchbase-release-1.0-2-amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 12036 files and directories currently installed.)

Here’s the system information.

I’m running on Docker if that matters.

I found that lsb_release in Docker only echo xenial back hence it only has one column.

So my work around is to make it echo xenial xenial instead.

Hope there’s more sustain solution implemented in the future. In the mean time, this works.
