# I was targeting a machine using this version of Debian. Hopefully, you're targeting something newer.
docker run --rm -it debian:stretch bash

# This version of Debian is old enough that the package list has been moved to the archives.
# You may not need to do this.
# Note: if you're using a backports distribution, you'll need to do the same for /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
