It looks like a recent problem. We created fluentd docker images yesterday without any issue.

What does 'recent' mean?
Yesterday is ok but today had a problem?

I found the problem by this PR #933
Could you try to install string-scrub v0.0.5 before fluentd installation?

[rohit01]

Pre-installing string-scrub v0.0.5 works.

Release fluentd v0.12.23.
You don't need pre string-scrub installation.
