docker build **was** failing

I did the same and was still getting...
The command '/bin/sh -c apt-get -yqq install python-pip python-dev' returned a non-zero code: 100
so i changed the base image to FROM ubuntu:latest in the Dockerfile which fixed the problem!

Thanks for pointing this out. Changed the Dockerfile to ubuntu:latest.

Sorry to dredge this up from a long time ago, I was trying out this tutorial this past weekend - it's great and I have really enjoyed it! I'm trying to get the flask application image to build and ran into a similar issue.

I can't get ubuntu to install pip - here is the error message I get during Step 4/13 : RUN apt-get -yqq install python-pip python-dev curl gnupg. I tried the above removing of the yqq flag and didn't have any luck.

E: Unable to locate package python-pip
The command '/bin/sh -c apt-get -yqq install python-pip python-dev curl gnupg' returned a non-zero code: 100

Any thoughts on how I might get the image building? Thanks so much for the great resource; hoping I can get to the finish line!

EDIT: For what it's worth I changed ubuntu:latest to ubuntu:19.10 and the package seemed to build, albeit quite slowly. But hopefully this will work in the interim.
