security.debian.org 'does not have a Release file' on with Debian Docker images

Question

It appears as both debian:stable-slim and debian:stable are both currently broken (for updates):

> $ docker run -ti --rm  debian:stable-slim
Unable to find image 'debian:stable-slim' locally
stable-slim: Pulling from library/debian

E: The repository 'http://security.debian.org/debian-security stable/updates Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Anyone else experienced this or found a workaround?

Answer 1

I was able to fix this by changing this line:

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stable/updates main

to

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security stable-security/updates main

You can do that by running:

sed -i 's/stable\/updates/stable-security\/updates/' /etc/apt/sources.list
