Just a bit more info as I'm trying to work around this:

Running the container with a mounted ext3 volume and and install nativescript onto this volume in the container solves the problem.
Installing onto BTRFS causes failure on the system.
Other packages installs fine, as i have tried to install some of the NativeScript dependencies manually.

Building the Dockerfile on a ext3/4 system is possible without trouble, after the build nativescript seems to be running fine
