Instale o apt-show-versions dentro de um container do Docker do Ubuntu

Question

Estou executando um contêiner do Ubuntu 16.04 no Docker.

Eu executo o container e executo:

apt install apt-show-versions

Eu volto:

Setting up apt-show-versions (0.22.3) ...
** initializing cache. This may take a while **
Error: No information about packages! (Maybe no deb entries?)
dpkg: error processing package apt-show-versions (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 255
Errors were encountered while processing:
 apt-show-versions
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Eu não tenho nenhum problema em instalar este pacote no meu computador host também executando o 16.04.

Alguém sabe o que pode estar causando o problema?
