After switching a Dockerfile's base image from a Debian-based one to Alpine, build succeeds but the application throws a runtime error about a missing shared library.

Alpine uses musl libc and a minimal set of system libraries by default, so any dependency expecting glibc-specific shared libraries (common for some native extensions or pre-compiled binaries linked against glibc) will be missing them. Either install the specific needed libraries explicitly in the Alpine image, use a glibc-compatibility layer if available for that ecosystem, or revert to a slim glibc-based image if the dependency genuinely requires glibc.
