Hi, we’re dipping our toe in the water wih Docker on SLES. I’ve ot to the point of installing docker (zypper install docker-ee) when the message below appears:

Loading repository data…  
Reading installed packages…  
Resolving package dependencies…

Problem: nothing provides libdevmapper.so.1.02(DM\_1\_02\_97)(64bit) needed by docker-ee-17.03.2.ee.5-1.x86\_64  
Solution 1: do not install docker-ee-17.03.2.ee.5-1.x86\_64  
Solution 2: break docker-ee-17.03.2.ee.5-1.x86\_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c):

Has anyone got any ideas on this error please?

TIA Delboy

From the web view of the Forums I can see you’ve selected SLES12 so the  
first thing I would advise is upgrading to the latest SLES12 release  
currently available, SLES12 SP2.

Are you installing Docker from the Containers module which is available  
for SLES12 or are you trying to install from third-party provided packages?
