ruby:2.1-alpine update (to alpine 3.5) broke postgresql compatibility, openssl/libressl dependency conflicts

[mdylanbell]

ruby:2.1-alpine has package conflicts after the recent update to alpine 3.5, when using postgresql.

Alpine 3.5 switched from openssl to libressl, but the ruby-rundeps package depends on openssl and the packages conflict.

I am having the same issue as above. Currently using ruby:2.2-alpine.

Same with ruby:2.3.3-alpine, mysql/mariadb:

Sorry folks -- this is definitely going to be reverted. See docker-library/golang#131 (comment) for further discussion. 😞

[tmaier]

Could we not replace openssl with libressl in the Dockerfile-alpine.template and within the gem/bundle install commands?

[tianon]

@tmaier yes, that would take care of some of the downstream breakage, but not all of it -- there are more examples of breakage linked to/from docker-library/golang#131 (comment), including the mysql/mariadb breakage above: #104 (comment)

[vovimayhem]

When will the corrected image be available at docker hub?

[tianon]

@vovimayhem once docker-library/official-images#2513 is merged, built, and pushed 👍

[vovimayhem]

Got it! Thanks!
