Feature install fails with "Unable to locate package azure-functions-core-tools"

System: Windows 11 : WSL Ubuntu-18.04
VS Code Stable: 1.81.1
Dev Containers Extension: v0.305.0

The container build fails when including the feature. It looks as if apt-get is failing, but when running the install command from the script locally, it works fine. This occurs as root user as well. Relevant portion of the logs...

Hi @burkeholland - as per the mentioned issue, Microsoft have not yet released a .deb version for bookworm.

(This is the case for most of their Linux apps - most notably for me, PowerShell, msodbc, and Defender for Endpoint are also missing from the Debian 12 package lists).

[log2]

Hi @jlaundry , @burkeholland , it seems that the same holds for ARM64-version of such packages, in this case both for bullseye and for bookworm. Can you confirm? Are there any alternatives?

Thank you

[jlaundry]

@log2 bookworm still isn't supported on any architecture (Azure/azure-functions-core-tools#3431), and while Microsoft have added ARM64 for macOS (via Homebrew), there's still no sign of any Linux ARM64 support: Azure/azure-functions-core-tools#3112

Please comment on those issues, and if you have a Microsoft account manager, tell them too: Microsoft seem to react when lots of people make noise.

not working :(

@burkeholland @mboiman try now - it looks like Bookworm support silently shipped with release 4.0.5571!

[pleberre]

Linux-Arm64 is really a must. Quite difficult to comprehend why this isn't yet available.

@jlaundry thanks i will try on next possibility
