[Pkg-javascript-devel] Updating and Upgrading debian:dev for docker fails and account is locked (Outreachy Account)

[Joshua Nsereko]

Indeed Pirate, I am already running as a root so using sudo ain't
important.

Actually, errors are frightening so I lost my cool, forgetting that I am
root already, my bad.

FYI, using just mere apt-get update works

Could there be any way we could meet synchronously via video or audio call
at ur convenience?

Thanks Pirate
