Docker daemon fails to start on Arch Linux with "package not installed"

Getting this error when attempting to start docker. I've installed via the community package DB, and have all dependencies installed. This was working before.

If it helps, I've recently upgraded my kernel. Not exactly sure if it's related. :)

Can you check that you have bridge-utils package installed?

pacman -Qs bridge-utils

[ghost]

haz ~ $ sudo pacman -Qs bridge-utils
local/bridge-utils 1.5-2
    Utilities for configuring the Linux ethernet bridge

Ok! Can you try:

lsmode | grep bridge

If no result you should have to load bridge module for your new kernel:

modprobe bridge

[ghost]

Awesome! It seems to have worked. I'll put it down to an issue during upgrade. Closing now - but thanks. :)

If it still doesn't work:

• for those who disabled ipv6, check modinfo bridge and if bridge depends on ipv6, enable it back.
• if modprobe bridge does nothing, reboot and repeat.

Not working in current 3.18.6-1-ARCH kernel,even after loading the bridge module...

modinfo bridge gives :

filename:       /lib/modules/3.18.6-1-ARCH/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.ko.gz
alias:          rtnl-link-bridge
version:        2.3
license:        GPL
srcversion:     3E221B185E69C8D7F76C7EC
depends:        stp,llc
intree:         Y
vermagic:       3.18.6-1-ARCH SMP preempt mod_unload modversions 

ip link does not show the docker0 bridge like it used to, and brctl show shows nothing.

Checked the timestamps on my pacman pkg cache dir, and 3.18.6-1 kernel happened on Feb 7. I'm quite certain docker was working well after that, then boom - suddenly stopped. The whole bridge interface is gone...

EDIT :

When trying to run docker -d

INFO[0000] +job serveapi(unix:///var/run/docker.sock)

mrgreen@arch docker]$ modinfo bridge

Getting error as above.... real shame was looking forward too testing docker....

Had to delete /var/lib/docker and /var/run/docker.* manually , then got it working.

OK NEVERMIND I HAD RE REBOOT and now is working..

hello, same issue here..

uname -a
Linux alarmpi 3.18.10-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 27 19:59:03 MDT 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux

but I get no output with modinfo
[root@alarmpi ~]# modinfo bridge
modinfo: ERROR: Module alias bridge not found
but I did install it.. the pacman -S docker pulled down for me.
also...
[root@alarmpi ~]# locate bridge.ko
/usr/lib/modules/3.18.12-1-ARCH/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.ko.gz

/usr/lib/modules/3.18.12-1-ARCH/kernel/net/bridge/netfilter/nft_reject_bridge.ko.gz

what im doing wrong? this is for raspberry 2.

insmod /usr/lib/modules/3.18.12-1-ARCH/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.ko.gz
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /usr/lib/modules/3.18.12-1-ARCH/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.ko.gz: Unknown symbol in module

[roadev]

I just run: sudo docker -d
Then sudo docker info

[vanga]

lsmode | grep bridge

gives nothing

so, I did modprobe bridge as suggested, and then rebooted my EC2, it gets shut down automatically after trying to initialize
