Running “docker run -it --rm circleci/node:10-browsers sudo apt-get update” I get the following error message:

I would paste the error message here but it contains URL’s and the forum software says I cannot do that.

I can also reproduce by running the same command in the CircleCI environment. Please advise.

This is an upstream issue with the Debian mirrors. I will keep this GH issue updated as we hope for a quick resolution: [https://github.com/circleci/circleci-images/issues/269](https://github.com/circleci/circleci-images/issues/269)
