[SOLVED] "Unable to locate package build-essential" while Docker build on Debian Jessie

Issue

I'm trying to run a Dockerfile that had worked very well until few days ago:

FROM python:2.7
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y build-essential xorg libssl-dev libxrender-dev wget gdebi
RUN wget http://download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.2.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-jessie-amd64.deb
RUN gdebi --n wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-jessie-amd64.deb
EXPOSE 80
ADD . /code
WORKDIR /code
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
RUN ["sh", "-c", "python", "manage.py", "db", "upgrade"]
CMD ["python", "server.py"]

The problem happens during the apt-get install:

E: Unable to locate package build-essential
E: Unable to locate package xorg
E: Unable to locate package gdebi

I checked the python:2.7 Dockerfile, they build it with a buildpack-deps:jessie image, which is a debian:jessie image.

I changed nothing since the day it worked well and this Dockerfile run on Amazon Elastic Beanstalk, so it's not some kind of network problem. I tried locally and I got the same errors, so I guess it comes from some changes made in the docker OS images, from the Debian or the buildpack-deps team.

Here is the source.list (from python:2.7):

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main
deb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main

Also, I don't know how to find in which repo I can find those packages, they say nothing about that on the Debian doc... (https://packages.debian.org/fr/jessie/build-essential)

EDIT

After a new full test on local machine, it worked well, So I guess the problem come from Amazon itself...

Solution

It seems fixed on Amazon side, there is no more apt-get install failling on Amazon for me, even on load-balanced :)
