Not enough reputation to comment on previous answers, so I will (confusingly) add a new answer:

• I don't think hardcoding a single mirror is really a viable solution, since as for example seen here, there's a reason debian implemented the whole httpredir thing -- mirrors go down or out of date.
• I've dealt with this issue a lot of times, and the logs always indicate that docker's actually running the apt-get command, which means --no-cache is unlikely to be fixing it -- it's just that if you rebuild, httpredir is likely to pick a different mirror, even if you don't change anything in your docker file, and the build will work.
