Cannot to apt-get install package

Notebook

I want to build new datascience-notebook with some packages on the notebook. For example, I want to install java jre. But I got error: E: Unable to locate package default-jre
The full output with error is:

xiao@hp440:~/podman-test$ podman build -t notebook-packages:2025-05-30 --format=docker -f Dockerfile .

The Dockfile file is:

FROM quay.io/jupyter/datascience-notebook:ubuntu-22.04
SHELL ["/bin/bash", "-o", "pipefail", "-c"]
USER root
WORKDIR /usr/local/software
ADD ./java.sh /etc/profile.d/
RUN apt-get install build-essential
RUN apt-get install default-jre

Any idea? I am quite new to the docker and Jupyter. Thanks for your help.

Apt doesn’t automatically update the package repository metadata, you need to force an update by running apt-get update.

You may also need to invalidate the Docker build cache
