E: Unable to locate package pip
The command ‘/bin/sh -c apt-get -y install pip’ returned a non-zero code: 100

Well, the second RUN apt-get updateis unnecessary …
I’m not sure which version of Ubuntu you’re pulling, but you might try a …

RUN apt-get install -y python-pip

…instead.

#3

I have tried that also but that is also not working . (Not using second apt-get update
Even I have tried to pull lower version of ubuntu that didn’t work

#4

What Ubuntu image you’re pulling ? latest ?

#5

20.04
And
Also tried with 18.04

#6

Use

RUN apt-get install -y python3-pip

That will work.

My test Dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu:20.04
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get upgrade -y
RUN apt-get install -y python3-pip
CMD tail -f /dev/null
