Error multiverse invalid

I have this Dockerfile:

FROM node:11

USER root

WORKDIR /tmp
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y software-properties-common
RUN add-apt-repository multiverse
RUN add-apt-repository universe

I am getting this error:

Error: ‘multiverse’ invalid
The command ‘/bin/sh -c add-apt-repository multiverse’ returned a non-zero code: 1

How can I get this to work?

I apparently solved it by doing this:

RUN sed -i "/^# deb.*multiverse/ s/^# //" /etc/apt/sources.list
RUN sed -i "/^# deb.*universe/ s/^# //" /etc/apt/sources.list

Instead of this:

RUN add-apt-repository multiverse
RUN add-apt-repository universe

But im still facing this problem😔

У меня есть этот Dockerfile:

FROM node:11

USER root

WORKDIR /tmp
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y software-properties-common
RUN add-apt-repository multiverse
RUN add-apt-repository universe

Я добираюсь:

Error: 'multiverse' invalid
The command '/bin/sh -c add-apt-repository multiverse' returned a non-zero code: 1

wtf продолжается? жаль о языке

RUN sed -i "/^# deb.*multiverse/ s/^# //" /etc/apt/sources.list
RUN sed -i "/^# deb.*universe/ s/^# //" /etc/apt/sources.list

RUN add-apt-repository multiverse
RUN add-apt-repository universe

I am running Kali Linux rolling 2017.2 iso

I have done the following command:

sudo apt-add-repository multiverse 

and I received the following error message:

How to fix this please? thank you

You can’t add a Ubuntu repository to a Kali distribution. (Or any non-Kali repository for that matter.) Either use Ubuntu or stick with Kali’s repository.

See https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories/ and read the section «Non-Kali Repositories», which also states,

By adding Kali’s repository to a non-Kali OS (such as trying to add Kali to Ubuntu), this will highly increase the chance of your system not working. It may not happen straight away, but without any warning, it may break. We will not be able to offer support (and based on what we have seen over the years, most other OS will not help too).

Likewise, adding other operating system’s repositories into Kali (such as trying to put Ubuntu on Kali), will break your installation. This is the single most common reason why Kali Linux systems break.

And finally,

If any guides are telling you to do anything else than the above, this is unofficial advice, and completely not supported by Kali Linux. More often than not, users in this case end up doing a reinstall after learning this lesson.

On Kali Linux, apt-add-repository accept only main, contrib and non-free distribution components.

multiverse is a Ubuntu distribution component.

In the latest Kali release, apt-add-repository multiverse will print:

Error: 'multiverse' invalid

As said @roaima adding non-Kali repo will break your system.

To fix the problem in the old Kali 2017 use:

sudo apt-add-repository --remove multiverse
