I am just starting my journey with my C++ Conan code… and want to begin getting a CI routine in place that builds and pushes my C++ conan packages to gitlab registry… I have been doing this manually for quite some time but ready to start automation BUT… when I start to try to any any Docker images and apt install ... I get NOT FOUND errors left and right… do I need to upgrade my account to make this work or ?

Dockerfile

FROM ubuntu:20.04

RUN apt install python3 python3-pip -y
RUN apt install automake make cmake automake bison flex g++ libboost-all-dev libevent-dev libssl-dev libtool make pkg-config -y

RUN pip3 install conan

RUN python --version
RUN gcc --version

  stage: test    # It can run at the same time as unit-test-job (in parallel).
  script:

    - sleep 10
    - echo "No lint issues found."

  stage: deploy  # It only runs when *both* jobs in the test stage complete successfully.

Do I need to upgrade my … account or? what am I missing… I figured Ubuntu 20.04 … apt install python3 … should be quite common workflow to need or?

EDIT:

Seems the solution was simply to run

FROM ubuntu:20.04

ARG DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

RUN apt update
RUN apt upgrade -y

without this it simply won’t find packages … which to me is, I guess?, by design…?I normally avoid Docker containerization so… this was painful but I guess I am unblocked from using Ubuntu now and build my custom container
