Hello,

I try to bujild a docker image based on swipl:stable

Other then the documentation says prosqlite seems not to be preinstalled and when I try to  
install it I get an HTTP-500

```
% Contacting server at http://www.swi-prolog.org/pack/query ...
ERROR: -g pack_install(prosqlite,[interactive(false)]),halt: url `'https://www.swi-prolog.org/pack/query'' does not exist (status(500,Internal Server Error))

```

What could I do to fix this?

Thanks,  
Wolfram.

Did you pull swipl:stable? This problem was fixed in 8.0.3, which is AFAIK, the current stable at DockerHub.

After docker pull swipl:stable the issue with prosqlite seems to be gone, but can’t install googleclient package now:

```

But it seems to be installed despite the error message, so I can live with the current situation:

It is just updating the download location and count that fails. That is still something to work out. Github provides too many different places to download .zip file and they do not seem to be exactly the same over time, making the pack installer confused.

[Here](https://github.com/SWI-Prolog/docker-swipl/blob/b9018ff59091e52925de90ae1e73d281031d06e9/8.0.3/stretch/Dockerfile) is the official Dockerfile for SWI-Prolog which installs some add-ons.
