Ubuntu inside Docker-container : apt-get update failure (Error writing to output file)

Question

On my Docker platform, I created a container (docker run -it --name UBUNTU ubuntu bash) and it works (Up + logged into as root)

But when I try to update repo with "apt-get update" I get :

root@a638632113f5:/# apt-get update
Get:1 archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal InRelease [265 kB]
Err:1 archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal InRelease

What does it mean ? (I guess it's not an issue with dns)

/etc/apt/sources.list seems up-to-date

cat /etc/os-release gives :

NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 20.04 LTS"
VERSION_ID="20.04"
HOME_URL="www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"
VERSION_CODENAME=focal

How to solve this issue ?

THX for your reply ! When df -hT I get /var = 100% ! so I probably have to extend this partition (My platform is a VM in fact and /var partition was sized automatically with 1.7GB wich is probably tto small...); I gonna rebuild my VM and send a feedback ! THX again — Rominou, May 15 '20 at 10:22
@Rominou. You are asking two questions: 1. "What does it mean ?" (to which I don't have an answer) and 2. "How to solve this issue ?" (to which I do have an answer) . . . I think it would much increase your chances to get an answer if you remove one of these two questions. How about removing the one that is less important to you? — Henke - Нава́льный П с м, Nov 02 '20 at 17:05
I can easily reproduce your error, except in my case it doesn't say Error writing to output file - write (28: No space left on device) [IP: 91.189.88.142 80]. . . . . . . . . . . . . The error message I get is Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.152 80]. I have no idea why I get an error message which is different from yours, but I do have a hunch that yours is rather misleading ... If you are observant, you will notice that your IP address and mine both start with 91.189.88. What does that tell you?

Does this answer your question? What is correct way to fix name resolution from Docker container? — Henke - Нава́льный П с м, Nov 02 '20 at 18:20
I guess it's not an issue with dns . . . - I respectfully disagree. — Henke - Нава́льный П с м, Nov 03 '20 at 16:37
