Cause (Documented platform behavior): The Debian path of the Docker repo only publishes Debian codenames (bookworm, bullseye, buster, trixie, ...); jammy exists only under /linux/ubuntu. Fix status: fixed_upstream (fixed in OpenHands PR #10345 (temporary fix, merged 2025-08-15)) Limitations: - The '[[: not found' error is a separate cause (bash syntax under /bin/sh) in the same build Other error fragments: - Err:2 https://download.docker.com/linux/debian jammy Release 404 Not Found Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands/issues/10110 (github_issue, 2025-08-06, reported_symptom): SWE-bench runtime build failed with the quoted 404/Release errors plus '/bin/sh: 1: [[: not found'. - https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/dists/ (official_docs, 2026-09-27, documented_behavior): Repo index lists only Debian codenames (bookworm, bullseye, buster, jessie, stretch, trixie, wheezy); no jammy. - https://github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands/pull/10345 (github_issue, 2025-08-15, released_fix): Merged Dockerfile fix for cross-distro build failures in SWE-bench eval (self-described temporary). Search phrasings: docker apt repository debian jammy 404; download.docker.com debian jammy Release not found; install docker in ubuntu jammy container apt fails Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
