Cannot create container with more than 127 parents

[lemon-zmd]

following the docker installation instruction, I met 'Cannot create container with more than 127 parents' when I built the griffin-env. I retried it on mac and centos 6.7 . Is there any solution ?

We haven't met such issue before, it seems like something with docker parent images number limit, but the dockerFile steps is much less than 127, can you please paste your docker info here, such as in which step it occurs. And we also want to know your system env and docker version. Thanks a lot.

We can not reproduce this issue in our environment, which is ubuntu 14.04 with docker version 1.12.0. Would you mind tell us your system env info and docker version? By the way, maybe you can refer to this link moby/moby#12624, which seems to be the limit of docker parent images number.
Thanks a lot, and you can also contact us by email [email protected]

We've now provided our built docker image on docker hub, you can just pull it and run, follow the new steps here.
Thank you for your problems to push us forward.
