Deepin 15.10 Error: could not find a distribution template for Deepin/stable

Question

When I was trying to install Docker on Deepin 15.10 via package repository, I had this error:

Error: could not find a distribution template for Deepin/stable

Solution 1

Since the OP never moved their Answer out of the Question, here's what they had originally.

---

Since Deepin 15.10, the base kernel is Debian stable, but in the Deepin distribution template is set as unstable; let's change that.

sudo nano /usr/share/python-apt/templates/Deepin.info

change

Suite: unstable

to

Suite: stable

and voilá, you now can add PPA without that problem above.

Solution 2

You should be able to add the repository manually.

Something like this:

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

printf 'deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian stretch stable\n' \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker-ce.list
