This is usually a symptom of a broken download, I recommend you to stop the containers using this image, delete the image, and pull it again.

[tunstek]

I've tried this multiple times. I'm using transmission as an example here but like I said above, there are multiple images failing

$ docker ps

[j0nnymoe]

Are you clearing out all the images that use that base or just transmission?

[tunstek]

It's my understanding that
$ docker ps -aq | xargs docker rm
$ docker rmi $(docker images -a -q)

Will clear everything but perhaps I'm mistaken there?

[tunstek]

If no one else is seeing this, this is probably just an issue on my machine but I honestly have no clue how to resolve it.

I'll try a docker reinstall

It's my understanding that $ docker ps -aq | xargs docker rm $ docker rmi $(docker images -a -q)

Will clear everything but perhaps I'm mistaken there?

Only if there aren't any running containers using those images. docker rm won't remove running containers.

[tunstek]

Yes, I was verifying no running containers by running a docker ps and making sure it was empty. I included that in my comment above.

I reinstalled docker and I'm still getting the same error
