No debian image can update/install packages

[Vishnu91007]

Unable to fetch updates from debain repos.
All our VM update/install are also facing the same error. Even if I do curl or browse from another network, I'm getting the same error for debian url.

Symptom of #1012

All the latest images default to stretch and we dropped jessie completely from v11. We made that switch some time ago.

[tianon]

For actively supported versions based on Jessie, this will be updated via debuerreotype/docker-debian-artifacts#66 (comment).

[deiwin]

I was able to fix by replacing node:9.2 with node:9.2-stretch in my case.

For others coming here, depending on the dependencies you need to install, you may be able to use the solution found here.

RUN this before you install packages

echo -e "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian jessie main\ndeb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main" > /etc/apt/sources.list

Edit: this was a temporary fix, the true fix for me was updated my FROM to the latest security patch on my major version, the latest version of an LTS won't have these problems.

Had this issue running the image in drone, modifying the above command to exclude the -e worked

echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian jessie main\ndeb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main" > /etc/apt/sources.list

Any updates @tianon ? Saw you mention that it would take a while but wondering how much longer.

[tianon]

The following list of tags should all be (long-since now) updated:

$ bashbrew list node | grep jessie
node:8.15.1-jessie
node:8.15-jessie
node:8-jessie
node:carbon-jessie
node:8.15.1-jessie-slim
node:8.15-jessie-slim
node:8-jessie-slim
node:carbon-jessie-slim
node:6.17.0-jessie
node:6.17-jessie
node:6-jessie
node:boron-jessie
node:6.17.0-jessie-slim
node:6.17-jessie-slim
node:6-jessie-slim
node:boron-jessie-slim
node:10.15.3-jessie
node:10.15-jessie
node:10-jessie
node:dubnium-jessie
node:lts-jessie
node:10.15.3-jessie-slim
node:10.15-jessie-slim
node:10-jessie-slim
node:dubnium-jessie-slim
node:lts-jessie-slim

They are the only actively-supported versions by the Node.js project, so they are the only versions that will be rebuilt.

The same issue is in node:8.15.1-alpine. It should be updated too.
