Docker fails with Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Im having issues trying to install JRE into my docker container.

I keep getting the error message;

Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.28-10) ...

Processing triggers for ca-certificates (20190110) ...

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

If I scroll up the build output a bit, I also see the following issues;

My Dockerfile is very simple, but it just wont work

FROM nginx:latest

RUN apt-get update -y && apt-get install -y 
    unzip 
    wget 
    default-jre 
    nginx

It looks to be using debian buster, any help getting this to work would be greatly appreciated. I’ve been trying for days.

Answer

jre installation require man folder to exist on the server, try this:

FROM nginx:latest

RUN mkdir -p /usr/share/man/man1

RUN apt-get update -y && apt-get install -y 
    unzip 
    wget 
    default-jre 
    nginx
