Description

I attempted to install docker-sbx following the instructions here: https://docs.docker.com/ai/sandboxes

Because the package docker-sbx is not actually available in most of the Ubuntu docker repos, the installation fails at the second step:

$ sudo apt-get install docker-sbx
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package docker-sbx

It looks like the package is only available in the noble, questing and resolute suites. All the other suites in https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/ will fail.

Additionally, the yakkety suite appears to be corrupted:

Error: Failed to fetch https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/yakkety/stable/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  File has unexpected size (1668 != 1658). Mirror sync in progress? [IP: 2600:9000:2864:2a00:3:db06:4200:93a1 443]

Suggestion

Either distribute the docker-sbx package to all suites, or change the installer script at https://get.docker.com to not rely on $lsb_dist when configuring the apt repo, and select the nearest compatible suite.

Alternatively, provide manual instructions for apt repo setup (without the installer script) and document the 3 available suites.
