Docker-ce installation on fresh install Ubuntu 19.10 failing

I have tried installing Docker-ce for Ubuntu 19.04 on Ubuntu 19.10 on an Intel Core i3-9100 w/ 16gb ram. Unfortunately it fails. These are the steps I followed:

sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu disco stable"
sudo apt install docker-ce

That last command to install Docker results in an error when it reaches Setting up docker-ce (5:19.03.3~3-0~ubuntu-disco) ...

I have searched online for hours but couldn’t find a resolution. Since this is a clean system, how does the rest of the world manages to install Docker on Ubuntu 19.10?

no one? Is Ubuntu 19.10 that unpopular?

Hi,

I just encounter the same issue, my Ubuntu is 19.10(eaon), tried nightly but apt command said “not docker-ce package”, I tried stable/edge got same error as you. I also check the systemd docker.service and saw some warning messages. By the way, my docker was running well yesterday, after Ubuntu update daily today, my docker is “die”, I run docker command, check docker.service all of them just hang in …, so I dicided remove old docker and reinstall docker.
