docker-ce : Depends: libseccomp2 (>= 2.3.0) but 2.2.3-3ubuntu3 is to be installed

Question

I'm installing Docker on my Ubuntu machine and I'm following this tutorial Install Docker Engine on Ubuntu

When I run sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce it does not install Docker on my machine and is giving the following error:

$ sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 docker-ce : Depends: libseccomp2 (>= 2.3.0) but 2.2.3-3ubuntu3 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

When I run sudo apt-get install libseccomp2, it already installed in my system and I am still getting same error when I try to install Docker on my machine.

Here is the information of my Ubuntu OS:

Answer 1

I encounter the same problem when installing docker-ce version 18. I won't use aptitude to install the old version because nvidia-docker only supports Docker version above 18!

The solution is quite easy:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update

Then you can use command sudo apt-get install docker-ce to solve the libseccomp2 version conflict problem.
