apt-get upgrade returns an error

[gwelr]

Tried to install riak using your procedure but it does work because apt-get upgrade returns an error and exit.
Providing below the end of the log of the apt-get upgrade. I remain available if you need further information:

Followed recommendations here: moby/moby#1724
I've added the following lines in the Dockerfile (right after the Maintainer line and before apt-get update and apt-get upgrade run):

hopefully temporary work-around of http://git.io/Ke_Meg#1724

RUN apt-mark hold initscripts udev plymouth mountall
And commented the lines:

Hack for initctl

See: moby/moby#1024

RUN dpkg-divert --local --rename --add /sbin/initctl
RUN ln -s /bin/true /sbin/initctl

which are no longer needed.

Thanks, @gwelr.

Sorry for the delayed response here. I've been working on a few changes to how the containers speak to each other here: https://github.com/hectcastro/docker-riak/tree/feature/docker-links

As soon as I get a chance, I'd like to try and incorporate some of your comments from here into that branch.

[hectcastro]

Should be fixed by 25204a9 and a77e90a.

@gwelr Can you try the feature/docker-links branch and let me know if you run into any issues?

[hectcastro]

Addressed in 05fca34.
