How to fix 'Hash Sum Mismatch' in Docker on mac - docker

Question

I'm using macOS 11.4 and Docker 3.3.3. My docker file looks like
FROM python:3.8.10-slim-buster
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y \
# dependencies for building Python packages
build-essential \
# psycopg2 dependencies
libpq-dev
I have tried for different tags of Docker images by Python and have tried to create the image with --no-cache command as well, but every time I try to build image, I get the error Hash Sum mismatch
Here are my logs:

Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

This answer eventually solved my problem. i.e. putting the below code before RUN apt-get update
RUN rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
RUN apt-get clean
RUN apt-get update -o Acquire::CompressionTypes::Order::=gz
