slim build results in /usr/sbin/apache2ctl mkdir, mktemp and chmod: not found

Expected Behavior

docker compose up to start the container successfully

---

Actual Behavior

When using a slim image, docker compose up results in a failed container start, with errors:

image_name  | /usr/sbin/apache2ctl: 147: mkdir: not found
image_name  | /usr/sbin/apache2ctl: 126: mktemp: not found
image_name  | /usr/sbin/apache2ctl: 127: chmod: not found

---

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

docker compose build creates an image (approx 1GB). On this, docker compose up` works as expected.

slim this image, using slim build image_name - this results in an image approx 90MB

However, running docker compose up using this .slim image results in the errors as per above.

The base docker image is php:8.1-apache

I haven't provided the contents of usr/sbin/apache2ctl as mkdir, mktemp and chmod are standard functions so unsure why they are not found in the slim image.

I thought perhaps $PATH is getting 'broken' during the slim build so tried:

slim build --include-path /usr/local/sbin image_name

but no difference.

I'm unsure as to what to change as part of the slim build to restore these basic functions!

EDIT/UPDATE:

1. Ran whereis chmod in the working container, which returned /usr/bin/chmod
2. So then re-ran slim build using lim build --include-path /usr/bin/chmod image_name
3. Now the error on docker compose up is slightly different, suggesting it's found chmod, but still errors

image_name  | /usr/sbin/apache2ctl: 147: mkdir: not found
image_name  | /usr/sbin/apache2ctl: 126: mktemp: not found
image_name  | chmod: missing operand after '755'
image_name  | Try 'chmod --help' for more information.

Slim Version

slim version linux/amd64|Transformer|1.40.11|1b271555882eacdfb4e6598d6d0552e9b9b1449b|2024-02-02_01:36:22PM

Reproduce the failure with the php:8.1-apache image by comparing a normal docker compose build with the result of slim build. Start from the apache2ctl errors and Slim's handling of the referenced commands, including /usr/bin/chmod; done means docker compose up starts the slim image without mkdir, mktemp, or chmod errors.
