problem

I had no problems using docker to build my containers on Monday, but today I receive this error:

[warn] No sbt.version set in project/build.properties, base directory: /
/usr/share/sbt/bin/sbt-launch-lib.bash: line 58:   405 Killed                  "$@"
dpkg: error processing package sbt (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 137
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.23-0ubuntu9) ...

Errors were encountered while processing:
 sbt
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The command '/bin/sh -c apt-get install sbt -y' returned a non-zero code: 100

expectation

A successful unattended installation of sbt.

notes

sbt version: 0.13.16

I had same thing (exact message was like @SwapnilBorse123.

Based on above suggestions, i just increased allowable memory for docker (was at 2GiB before), and that worked fine.

I solved this issue I had with sbt-1.1.5.deb version by:

sudo dpkg -r sbt
sudo dpkg --purge sbt
wget https://dl.bintray.com/sbt/debian/sbt-0.13.0.deb
sudo dpkg -i sbt-0.13.0.deb

Then, as I’m using java 8, I had to patch the following line so a memory limitation was applied during assembly: in sbt/bin/sbt-launch-lib.bash at line 90:

#echo "-Xms${mem}m -Xmx${mem}m -XX:MaxPermSize=${perm}m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=${codecache}m"
echo "-Xms${mem}m -Xmx${mem}m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=${perm}m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=${codecache}m"

As a note, watching memory consumption in htop, it was lower with 0.13.0 version.
