Unable to install dlib from Dockerfile on Raspberry Pi - docker

Question

I'm trying to install dlib in Dockerfile on a Raspberry Pi 4.
Outside of Docker, I am able to install dlib on the Pi by running
pip3 install --upgrade dlib
But when I try to do it in a Dockerfile as follows:
FROM resin/raspberry-pi-python:3
COPY raspi.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list
COPY sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list
COPY pip.conf /root/.pip/pip.conf
RUN apt-get -y update
RUN apt-get install -y --fix-missing \
build-essential \
cmake \
libopenblas-dev \
liblapack-dev \
libatlas-base-dev \

libswscale-dev \
pkg-config \
python3-dev \
zip \
&& apt-get clean && rm -rf /tmp/* /var/tmp/*
RUN python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade
RUN pip3 install --upgrade dlib
I get errors when I try to build the docker image:

however version 19.2.3 is available. You should consider upgrading via

What am I missing?
