Hello,

With the latest bioconductor/release_core docker, the apt system seems to be broken.

Running:

%docker run --rm -ti bioconductor/release_core bash

then

# apt-get update
Get:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian testing InRelease [175 kB]
...
E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/http.debian.net_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages.diff_Index - open (2: No such file or directory)

trying to solve it:

#rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# apt-get update

(this time no errors)

but:

#

# apt-get install curl
