Can't install libmysqlclient-dev package when building dockerfile with ubuntu
I have the following content on my Dockerfile:
FROM ubuntu:latest
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y python-pip libmysqlclient-dev
And I got this output:
Step 4 : RUN apt-get install -y python-pip libmysqlclient-dev
---> Running in 2fb54b3107d4

E: Unable to locate package libmysqlclient-dev
The command '/bin/sh -c apt-get install -y python-pip libmysqlclient-dev' returned a non-zero code: 100
The weird thing is that if I run the same thing using docker run over the same image, the command works fine:
$ docker run -it --rm ubuntu bash
root@5f4d0083bd31:/# apt-get update && apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

I ran into this problem with a debian container. What fixed it was installing each package with separate commands. So instead of
RUN apt-get install -y python-pip libmysqlclient-dev
do
RUN apt-get install -y python-pip
RUN apt-get install -y libmysqlclient-dev
