I am trying to follow the docker tutorial but in a virtual machine. I’ve tried to install ping in ubuntu docker container with the command
sudo docker run ubuntu apt-get install pingThe problem is that docker doesn’t install anything and gives the answer as follows
$ sudo docker run ubuntu apt-get install ping Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... Package ping is a virtual package provided by: inetutils-ping 2:1.8-6 iputils-ping 3:20101006-1ubuntu1 E: Package 'ping' has no installation candidate $The same problem appears when I’m trying to install anything.
These are my images:

Answer
According to:
Package ping is a virtual package provided by:
inetutils-ping 2:1.8-6
iputils-ping 3:20101006-1ubuntu1
E: Package 'ping' has no installation candidate
Try with:
sudo docker run ubuntu apt-get install iputils-ping
You choose a ‘ubuntu’ with repository:tag in place of IMAGE in RUN command
sudo docker run ubuntu:lucid command
