Docker构建在apt-get中失败

Question

I'm getting an error during build. I've seen many similar questions but nothing seems to solve this issue.

I'm running Docker (Version 17.06.0-ce-mac18) on OS X El Capitan.

My Dockerfile is:

FROM ubuntu:14.04
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y -q git

I'm getting Bad Request 400 error from one of git dependencies:

Get:38 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main patch amd64 2.7.1-4ubuntu2.3 [86.4 kB]
Fetched 7619 kB in 5s (1367 kB/s)
E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libx/libx11/libx11-data_1.6.2-1ubuntu2_all.deb  400  Bad Request [IP: 91.189.88.162 80]

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
The command '/bin/sh -c apt-get update && apt-get install -y -q git' returned a non-zero code: 100

Any explanations or ideas for workaround?

I think the mirror being used is not reachable at the moment, You can try changing mirrors in for ubuntu from your docker file using sed .

You can also use ubuntu's mirror protocol, which will fetch mirrors located within your country:

FROM ubuntu:14.04
RUN sed -i -e 's/http:\/\/archive/mirror:\/\/mirrors/' -e 's/\/ubuntu\//\/mirrors.txt/' /etc/apt/sources.list
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y -q git

You can even specify a specific mirror you want to be used in the same way. For more information about apt mirrors refer to this post

I think the problem come from the fact that you are using ubuntu:14.04 which is deprecated ( https://askubuntu.com/questions/731891/not-able-to-install-anything-and-update-on-ubuntu-14-10 )

Can you try with FROM ubuntu ? This will use the latest ubuntu image, which is 16.04.

EDIT: Ubuntu 14.04 is an LTS, so as pointed by @jwodder it should still be supported. I would still try to use the latest LTS (16.04) with FROM ubuntu as it might be an easy fix.
