Problems to generate Docker Container for Python version

Opened this issue 4 years ago · 3 comments

Hi,

I found a problem to install Python-pip.

Problem:
Step 5/14 : RUN apt-get install -y python-pip python-dev build-essential
---> Running in 95de0214863b
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
E: Unable to locate package python-pip

Fix:

I fixed the problem changing the Dockerfile:
FROM ubuntu:latest
to
FROM ubuntu:18.04

Look like the latest version of ubuntu is missing some configuration or extra step.

Same worked for me.

I can confirm this was an issue that can be resolved by pinning the Docker tag to 18.04.
