I am trying to install git on alpine 3.6. It is failing with Protocol error in the first instance but works on the second instance. To be specific pcre and libcurl are not installed in first instance. Here's the log of what I am trying to do.
$ docker run -it alpine:3.6 /bin/sh
/ # apk --update add git

Installing pcre/git again works though.

Add a PackageUse add to install packages from a repository. Any necessary dependencies are also installed. If you have multiple repositories, the add command installs the newest package. If you only have the main repository enabled in your configuration, apk will not include packages from the other repositories.
You can install packages from a local disk (such as CDROM or a USB stick) or the internet archive location using apk command, the Alpine package manager for binary packages, instead of compiling them from the source. The list of repositories is stored in /etc/apk/repositories configuration file.
apk is the Alpine Package Keeper - the distribution's package manager. It is used to manage the packages (software and otherwise) of the system. It is the primary method for installing additional software, and is available in the apk-tools package.
Where Gentoo has portage and emerge; Debian has, among others, apt; Alpine uses apk-tools. This section compares how apk-tools is used, in comparison to apt and emerge.
I had this problem too (surprisingly, it was deterministic), and changing the mirror worked. For example, do:
$ echo "https://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/alpine/v3.7/main" >/etc/apk/repositories
$ echo "https://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/alpine/v3.7/community" >>/etc/apk/repositories
to change the mirror to the UWaterloo server. You can find the full list of mirrors here.
