Hi 👋

Thanks for reporting!
@alexander-smolyakov can you help investigate the issue? Thanks!

[alexander-smolyakov]

Hey @KIC, I have managed to reproduce the issue. At the moment, I'm trying to determine the root cause of it. As the temporal fix, could you please set the installUsingApt option to false for the dotnet feature?

"ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/dotnet:1": { 
            "version": "6",
            "installUsingApt": false
        },

Related doc: https://github.com/devcontainers/features/blob/main/src/dotnet/README.md#options

[alexander-smolyakov]

It seems the issue is related to picking the wrong dotnet distribution from the packages repo. We have two distributions in the jammy repo:

dotnet-sdk-6.0 (6.0.116-0ubuntu1~22.04.1) [universe] [security]
  dotNET 6.0 Software Development Kit
dotnet-sdk-6.0-source-built-artifacts (6.0.116-0ubuntu1~22.04.1) [universe] [security]
  Internal package for building dotNet 6.0 Software Development Kit

For some reason feature picks dotnet-sdk-6.0-source-built-artifacts when it should pick dotnet-sdk-6.0. I will investigate how we can adjust feature behavior.
