Docker Debian apt Error Reading from Server

Question

It would seem that apt-get is having issues connecting with the repository servers. I suppose it is likely compatibility issues, as mentioned here, however the proposed solution

Answer 1

The httpredir.debian.org mirror is "magic" in that it will load-balance and geo-ip you to transparent increase performance and availability. I would therefore immediately suspect it of causing your problem, or at least be the first thing to rule out.

I would check if you could:

• Still reproduce the problem; httpredir.debian.org will throw out "bad" mirrors from its internal lists so your issue may have been temporary.

• Reproduce the problem with a different, non-httpredir.debian.org mirror. Try something like ftp.de.debian.org. If it then works with this mirror, do please contact the httpredir.debian.org maintainer and report the issue to them. They are quite responsive and open to bug reports.
