Error with `python3.10` when running `apt install software-properties-common` when building dockerfile


Currently my dockerfile is just:

FROM ubuntu:latest
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt install software-properties-common -y

However when building the dockerfile and running the step apt install software-properties-common -y the following error is in the messages:

#0 41.07 Setting up python3.10-minimal (3.10.6-1~22.04.2) ...

#0 41.18 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Was wondering if you guys could please help me solve this error in order to finish building the dockerfile?


Solution

  • Turns out I had the snap version of docker and that caused the error but when I downloaded the apt version of docker from https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/ there was no error.
