Well, a quick glance at this revealed that it was Docker messing around with the APT configuration, namely setting ``Dir::Cache::{pkgcache,srcpkgcache} "";`` If you're curious, here is the quasi-official (I believe) Docker image's /etc/apt/apt.conf.d: https://gist.github.com/6459e3e6eeeec10db8c7 https://gist.github.com/41894af78eaf99194087 https://gist.github.com/fa0c2c9968858fd1660b https://gist.github.com/313ae6bdca14f0bf79d5 <-- !!! https://gist.github.com/87ef621440087a85b332 https://gist.github.com/615274e96c92fb3463ec I'm closing this bug, but I guess whoever is in charge of those images should be pinged to be aware of this..
