Unable to remove docker images

Docker 1.9.1…

I’ve no running containers;
[root]# docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES

I’ve two images;
[root]# docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE
docker.io/docker/whalesay latest fb434121fc77 7 months ago 247 MB
docker.io/hello-world latest 91c95931e552 8 months ago 910 B

They cannot be removed;
[root]# docker rmi $(docker images -q)
Error response from daemon: No such repository: docker/whalesay
Error response from daemon: No such repository: hello-world
Error: failed to remove images: [fb434121fc77 91c95931e552]

Any ideas?

I just came in to see a similar type of error, but it seems that I don’t see many interested in contributing the answers. I feel for you.
