There is no apt cache yet (on purpose, since it would get outdated and takes up extra space); you'll need to apt-get update first.

[calidion]

apt-get wont' work properly

[calidion]

when executing

apt-get update

we will get the following errors:

That sounds like a bad mirror or maybe a misbehaving proxy -- are you behind any kind of firewall (corporate or otherwise)?

Yeah that looks like a misbehaving/out-of-sync mirror for httpredir.debian.org and archive.ubuntu.com or possibly an overzealous firewall. It works fine from here, so it is not a problem with the images.

Random suggestion, try rebooting the docker VM (docker-machine restart default).

[calidion]

confused.

[calidion]

@yosifkit how can i fix this problem?

[ianmaddox]

Same issue here. None of the advice on this problem in older threads seems to fix this particular issue.

[bkerley]

I'm having a similar issue, and as far as I can tell, it's not a network or firewall issue.

1. apt update in local docker: fails with the above 404s; on AT&T residential
2. curl -I http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-security/universe/binary-amd64/Packages (one of the failed fetches) in local docker fails
3. same curl fails outside of docker
4. same curl fails from a Joyent instance in their datacenter
5. us.archive.…, ca.archive.…, de.archive.… all fail both locally and at Joyent
6. same request fails from https://www.hurl.it too
7. Trying Packages.bz2 works in Joyent and locally

Is there a way to tell apt update to prefer compressed files? By everything I can tell, (including the directory listing at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-security/universe/binary-amd64/), uncompressed Packages lists aren't available.

[bkerley]

Hmm, it might be dlite/xhyve? I'm able to apt update in ubuntu:latest on a
trusty64 host running docker 1.10.2.

[yosifkit]

As far as I can tell apt only fetches the gz, xz, or bz2 files for Packages. Given this from the apt man page:

Files like Packages can be available in various
compression formats. By default the acquire methods can decompress
bzip2, lzma and gzip compressed files; with this setting more
formats can be added on the fly or the used method can be changed.

Sometimes rebooting the docker VM on OSX can solve networking issues, especially if OSX has gone to sleep or changed networks.

[w4-steve]

Hi @vaporize93,
I am using the same ISP, SK Broadband, and it seems the problem is ISP cache.
After changing to KT line, the problem has gone.
Hope it can help you.

[daghack]

Seems to be an external issue to do with the networks, rather than a docker library. Closing this issue for now: if the issue persists for users and there's strong evidence that it's the province of docker library and the official images, we'll reopen.

[kyrsideris]

I faced the same error running docker for Mac. Possibly related with docker engine as suggested before. My fix was to restart docker engine and the image was built after the restart.

[yosifkit]

@Erarunkumar, that seems to be just an out-of-date/misbehaving mirror or network config and usually resolves itself, if external, or may require a reboot of VM and/or host.

[jsenellart]

fyi - same issue here - docker restart does not help. Like @junshoong I am in South Korea. no firewall. Using ubuntu:latest works which would confirm a mirror issue.

[ghost]

@yosifkit Scenario is I am running a virtual machine on my desktop and same VM is imported in VMware farm of DC, in virtual machine on my desktop, docker pull is working fine whereas the exactly same VM imported to VMware farm in DC docker pull stop working due to some Hash mismatch.
