[R-sig-Debian] Docker build issue

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Dave,

That's partial information for so hard to work with. One nice aspects about
Docker is that if something complex fails, you can try something simpler. You
appear to have made some assumptions here as to whether you could pile our
instructions top on an existing python3 container---and "that depends". Your
error messages indicate 'buster' as a release, which is not what I use in for
the Rocker r-base container.  So you can't just copy and paste. You could
however look at Johannes backport to buster, add its repo into to your Docker
setup and build that.  And you can test that step by step.  Good luck!

Cheers, Dirk
