Unable to install libxt-dev in docker

Asked by Hao Yan

I am trying to build docker image for running R shiny apps. The docker file went fine a month ago, but when I re-run it today. It gives the error. Could anyone help me with this dependency problem? Thanks a lot!

Dockerfile:

FROM r-base:latest
ENV http_proxy ""
ENV https_proxy ""

RUN cat /etc/apt/sources.list

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --allow-downgrades \
    gdebi-core \
    gsl-bin \
    libcurl4-gnutls-dev \
    libgsl0-dev \
    libxt6=1:1.1.5-1+b3 \
    libxt-dev \
    pandoc \
    pandoc-citeproc \
    sudo \
    libglib2.0-0 \
    libglib2.0-dev \
    libcairo2-dev \
    rrdtool \
    libpq-dev \
    libgdal-dev \
    libudunits2-dev \
    libssl-dev \
    psmisc

Why are you asking this in the Ubuntu question area?
You are using Debian servers as repository and not Ubuntu.
