[setup.py] [docker build -t lava32 /home/user/lava2/docker] cmd did not execute properly.
The same issue appeared when building LAVA on Debian 9.8.
I managed to successfully build LAVA by removing the following line from docker/Dockerfile:
RUN echo deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian wheezy/backports main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
However, I'm not sure if that is an appropriate solution, especially since no similar issues have been reported so far.
