Hi

Your docker image "bitnami/minideb:stretch" uses the old source.list : 

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main
deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main

But, we can't install anything with this source.list.

The /etc/apt/source.list of Debian 9 (stretch) must contain:

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ stretch-proposed-updates main
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main

Debian 9 Stretch has been unsupported since July 2022. Although the container image is published in DockerHub and can be used, this version has no new developments, improvements, or bug fixes.

Yes I know. But sometimes we have programs that only work with older versions of software. It's also one of Docker's advantages to meet these needs. Can't you regenerate this image after changing this file ?

We understand that specific use cases sometimes require older software versions. However, as part of our deprecation and retention policies, we cannot recover or re-release versions that have already been deprecated. This ensures we focus our resources on maintaining and securing the most recent versions.

While we cannot provide the requested version, we recommend using the already available older container images if they suit your requirements. If modifications are needed, you can always use the existing image as a base for a custom Dockerfile. Alternatively, consider updating your program to be compatible with the newer, actively maintained versions for better support and security.
