Count me as a docker newbie building a debian python and R mytools container. My first post. This was working a couple of weeks ago. My last successful build was a R 4.01 release when the R:base docker hub project used to list a number of base images and I used sections of a posted docker file in that area. Then the install directions at Cran:R listed buster:4.01 instructions that I also added to my docker file. I decided to delete my container and refresh over the weekend and my R install has been throwing fits ever since. It looks like the cran:r and docker hub sites have changed. It looks like a file in the debian buster-cran40 repository still has a label for debian unstable.
Looking for answers!
