This is the first time I deal with Debian, and I need a docker. I was following https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/debian/ to get it installed, however I faced the error:
% apt-get update

UPDATE
As recommended, I updated /etc/apt/sources.list
:
% cat /etc/apt/sources.list
#
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main
However apt-cache show apt-transport-https
returns error (Unable to locate package apt-transport-https), and apt-get install apt-transport-https
returns the same fail as before.
What should I be looking at to fix this? Thanks.
Best Answer
The package apt-transport-https is available in the official repositories (checked with
apt-cache show apt-transport-https
) but does not seem to be included on the DVD you have used for installation.Modifying your sources.list to use internet repositories instead of the DVD should fix it. See also here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/16370/apt-get-prompts-for-cds-when-installing-packages-how-do-i-make-it-stop
