Is ubuntu image broken in docker, dpkg error?

I am trying to install python, nodejs and npm inside an ubuntu image and I get the following error

125.4 debconf: Perl may be unconfigured (Debconf/Log.pm did not return a true value at (eval 1) line 4.
125.4 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 1) line 4.
125.4 ) -- aborting
125.4 Fetched 242 MB in 1min 55s (2107 kB/s)
125.4 dpkg: error: corrupt info database format file '/var/lib/dpkg/info/format'
125.4 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

  10 | >>>     apt install -y curl python3 python3-pip nodejs npm && 
  11 | >>>     rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c apt update &&     apt install -y curl python3 python3-pip nodejs npm &&     rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*" did not complete successfully: exit code: 100

I don’t know what is causing the error.

Here is the DockerFile

# Use the ubuntu:latest base image
FROM ubuntu:latest

LABEL authors="bunty"

#ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

# Install required packages
RUN apt update && 
    apt install -y curl python3 python3-pip nodejs npm && 
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Set the working directory inside the container
WORKDIR /engine_api

# Copy the entire current directory (including subdirectories) to /engine_api in the container
COPY ./api/src /engine_api
COPY ./package.json ./package-lock.json /engine_api/
COPY ./my_engine_data/ ./my_engine_data
COPY ./public ./public

# Install Node.js dependencies
RUN npm install && 
    chmod -R +x ./my_engine_data/packages

RUN pip3 install numpy scipy pandas seaborn matplotlib scikit-learn

# Install the R package 'runit'
RUN R -e "install.packages('runit', dependencies=TRUE, repos='https://cran.rstudio.com/')"

# Set the command to run.sh the Node.js application
CMD node /engine_api/app.js

I am using docker in a MACBOOK air 2022.

    You have to install apt-transport-https packages before the error line.

    RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y apt-transport-https

    Try this line just before the installation

    You seem to be missing apt-transport-https — you can fix that with the following on line 9 of your Dockerfile:

    # Install required packages
RUN apt update && 
    apt-get install -y apt-transport-https && 
    apt install -y curl python3 python3-pip nodejs npm && 
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
