Failed to fetch when install_packages

[TimVNL]

Hello,

I am getting the following error when I do: install_packages curl

E: Unable to locate package curl
apt failed, retrying
W: Failed to fetch http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/InRelease  Temporary failure resolving 'httpredir.debian.org'
W: Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/stretch/updates/InRelease  Temporary failure resolving 'security.debian.org'
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I'm using Docker CE 17.09 on Mac OS 10.13

Hi,

This sounds like your network had a problem resolving DNS. Assuming it's not a temporary problem then I think there might be a configuration problem with your docker install.

I assume that other cases work ok for you though?

I have a fresh docker install and I only have the issue with the latest release the jessie release is fine

Same Problem here. Fresh install and error only appears in stretch.

My Dockerfile starts like:

FROM bitnami/minideb:stretch
# Get CURL
RUN install_packages curl ca-certificates tar
[...]

That Dockerfile builds fine for me, so I'm not sure what the difference would be that causes you to see an error.
